Norwin Aqua Club offers training and practice groups for swimmers of all ages and ability levels. It is the goal of NAC to offer age-specific and ability-specific training for all of our athletes. The training is geared towards challenging each individual and developing each individual to the best of THEIR abilities.
| AQUA ACADEMY This is our entry level group. An athlete need not be able to initially swim all strokes to enter this group. The Aqua Academy focuses on the mechanical techniques involved with the four competitive strokes, their associated starts, turns and finishes. The swimming student experiences a small coach-to-swimmer ratio. The instruction is provided in a low-key setting. There is no athletic training or formal conditioning provided through this program. The program is designed to prepare the swimmer who successfully completes the program for the progression to the entry level on the Norwin Aqua Club. All classes are held at the Norwin High School pool.
