Registrants should be able to swim one lap of head down freestyle.  This swim program will have a progression of drills for teaching proper technique, body & head position, breathing, holding water during pulling, kicking, gaining distance per stroke, increasing stroke rate without losing efficiency, and ultimately swimming faster so they will make their goal times for the 100-yard Junior Guards Swim Test.
