The goal of the Maize levels fo the CW program is to introduce our young athletes to the sport of swimming and highlighting the fun of the sport. The skills learned at this level provide the building blocks of opportunity and growth for them in the sport. Our aim with athletes in the Maize group is to have swimmers regularly attend three swim practices weekly and to demonstrate a higher level of physical comprehension as they progress through levels two and three. 

Speed and intervals are not the best measuring stick at these levels, so coaching is focused on the number of correct repetitions. The entirety of practice is about teaching, not training. An appropriate number of competitions for this age and ability is roughly one swim meet a month. 

• Typically one swim competition per month; Maize-1: internal competitions suffice
• The goal is the experience at this age and making friends within the team/group

Cubs is Club Wolverine's pre-competitive swim team for swimmers hoping to join our Maize level when they're ready.
