Beginning Pre Competitive

Our beginner pre-competitive group is designed to teach the basic skills of competitive swimming techniques  in a small group setting.  The low intensity based technique work done in a small group setting make it a hybrid of swim lessons and swim team, a great first step into competitive swimming. The Beginning Pre-Competitive group works on teaching fundamental techniques and drills of the four competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke) as well as some diving and turn basics.  Classes are held Monday, Wednesday, & Friday from 4:00-4:45 pm.  Signups for this class begin at 3:30 pm at the first class session of the month. Swimmers must be at least five years of age, able to swim 25 yards of freestyle and 25 yards of backstroke, and follow basic instructions. Athletes training in this group are encouraged to participate in our two annual invitational swim meets held in October and March, though it is optional. Swimmers graduating from our swim lessons will normally enroll in this program as recommended by our staff.
