If your child is interested in joining a competitive swim team, pre-team is the next step. This program is designed for swimmers who can swim multiple laps and are ready to learn the fundamentals of competitive swimming.
In pre-team, swimmers focus on:
- Strong starts off the block for each stroke
- Flip turns for freestyle and backstroke
- Push turns for breaststroke and butterfly
- Swimming lap based races with proper technique and pacing
- Introduction to the Individual Medley, swimming butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle in order
- Relay exchanges and understanding race timing
Pre-team builds endurance, technique, race awareness, and confidence in a team oriented environment. Swimmers develop the skills necessary to transition into competitive swimming.
All classes are taught by certified swim instructors and are open to swimmers who meet the readiness expectations for this level.
