Summer League!!
The Summer Swim Team is a developmental, competitive swim team program for children ages 5 to 13 years old and focuses on basic to advanced stroke technique, develops competition skills and serves as an introductory program to the year round competitive program. Swimmers will be able to practice up to 3 days a week! Swimmers in this group are part of the competitive swim team and have meet opportunities at our home pool and local competitions throughout the year (swimmers are not required to swim in meets).
The training is divided by swimmers ability. We will place swimmers in lanes with kids of the same skill level. All of our coaches follow daily plans and progress through a system of drills and techniques for ultimate stroke technique development of all four competitive strokes.
Practice time will be dedicated to skill improvement, drills, aerobic development, knowledge of competitive rules and fun. Swimmers will also gain greater competitive experience, learn about racing, and become more aware of swimming times and goals.
