Swim
Team
This is a great opportunity for youth to experience a Swim
Team environment, by building on the skills taught in swim
lesson programs. We aim to improve the technique and
endurance of swimmers, while preparing them for future
competitive swimming levels.
• ALL participants MUST be able to swim 25-50 yards
without stopping.
• We strongly encourage everyone to have passed at least
level 3 of swim lessons before joining.
• Joining can happen throughout the summer, we leave
registration open most of the summer or until it is full.
• We will be having 2 swim meets for each group beside
just the daily practice, these will be inter-squad meets
involving 2 of the different time sessions over the course
of the summer.
• The only special equipment that a swimmer needs to
provide for themselves is goggles.
• Also with this program it is not a problem if you have to
miss a couple of days.
ATTENTION! PLEASE SEE COVID-19 PROTOCOL
