White Group: Pre-Competition Swim Team
SWIM TEST IS REQUIRED TO JOIN THIS GROUP. Schedule with Coach Jodi via text to 928.713.4824
Group Dynamic: Ages 4-7 This summer session develops the fundamentals basic competitive strokes, water safety, and a solid foundation of swimming technique. Children transition at this level from having an instructor in the water with them to taking instruction from a coach on deck. We will do both this summer.
With a focus on kicking and drill progressions, the swimmers acquire the skills needed for efficient swimming. Once sufficient body coordination and control are achieved, swimmers are ready to gradually develop the skills to swim up to 300 yards to be considered a "strong swimmer."
We'll also focus on streamlining, developing body awareness and coordination within the water, having fun safely, and fostering interest in the sport of swimming.
Entrance into group: Must demonstrate the ability to swim unassisted without stopping with face in the water and air recovery.
Training Frequency: 1 hour 3x/week - Some swimmers may need to start at 30 minutes until they have enough muscle to keep their bodies warm for longer periods of time. Practice may be shorter on days when cold wind or low pool temperature make it difficult for swimmers to maintain their body heat, or should the pool close for nearby thunderstorms.
