Swim Team Prep (Ages 6-14): Lessons are 60 minutes [max 8 students/instructor]
Taught in the main pool of the Swim Center, this class is for swimmers who can swim freestyle and backstroke proficiently as well as full laps of breaststroke and butterfly. Students will focus on improving stroke technique, speed and endurance along with diving and flip turns. This class will be run like a swim league practice with drills, repetitive laps and outside-of-water instruction. If the swimmer cannot swim all 4 strokes already, they will be asked to move to an appropriate Stroke Development class which will offer in-water instruction. Participation is not a guarantee that a swimmer will be eligible to join a year-round competitive swim team.
Swim Team Clinic (Ages 7-17): Lessons are 60 minutes
Taught in the program pool at the Swim Center, this class is for swimmers who have taken Swim Team Prep or participated in a swim team, whether summer or year-round. Participants should be familiar with all 4 strokes and will be expected to swim regular sets of 100 yards (across the pool 4 times). This class is intended for swimmers who want to build endurance while improving technique or who are interested in maintaining their swim skills in a non-competitive setting. This class will be run like a swim league practice with coaches out of water and instruction from the pool deck. Please note that the program pool is consistently colder than the main pool, and if you think this may present an issue, we’d recommend you visit the program pool to give it a try in advance of joining the class.
