Squad Descriptions
This is the non-competitive program for our
Blue Wave swimmers (9-12 year olds). However they will participate
in developmental meets about once a session. Practice runs from
September through the end of May and is offered twice a week for 1
hour (45 minutes in water and 15 minutes on land). In-water
instruction based on a 5:1 swimmer to coach ratio is utilized to
teach swimmers basic competitive principles. Various drills are
used to teach proper body balance, alignment and breathing skills.
These drills lead into full stroke freestyle and backstroke while
also touching upon fly and breast basics. Instruction involves
simple skill explanation, visual demonstration, and in-water
spotting of skills. Swimmers advance into TYPHOONS or GREEN CRESTS
based on skill mastery and age.
This is our entry level group. Swimmer must
be able to complete the following:
- Swim 25 meters of freestyle
- Swim 25 meters of backstroke
- Able to jump into water and be comfortable in
the water.
Ultimately, the coach has final say
in group appointments
Equipment Needed:
- Cap (needed if you have long hair)
