Pre Swim Team is split into two groups at teachers discretion, based on swimmers ability
Developmental Level: This pre swim-team level is for swimmers who are capable of swimming 25 yds without breaks or assistance, and for swimmers with rudimentary understanding of strokes, turns, and dives. This group will focus on the concepts of freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. Additionally, sit dives, grab turns, and lane etiquette will be taught.
Mastery Level: This pre swim-team level is for swimmers who have mastered all developmental group skills, and are ready to further improve their technique and stamina. This group will master their technique when it comes to freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. As this level is a step up from the previous, swimmers will also learn flip turns, legal starts, and standing dives where applicable and safe. Throughout this level, some swim team expectations and practices will be introduced, to make the transition from Pre-Swim team to Swim Team as seamless as possible.
Our enrollment is now perpetual. Once you have a spot in class, you will keep that day and time until you master skills at this level.
