RAPTORS
This group is for novice swimmers new to competitive swimming who can swim 25 yards of freestyle and backstroke, also for less experienced returning team members. Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards of freestyle (with safe, proper side-breathing mechanics) and backstroke, as well as have the desire to learn all 4 strokes. This group will focus on the fundamentals of body position and proper technique, as well as building endurance and learning basic racing skills including racing dives and turns. This group is intended to develop an enthusiasm for swimming. There is no minimum attendance requirement. While not required, swim meet participation encouraged.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Falcons team cap. Well-fitting suit (such as jammers for boys and 1-piece for girls), cap and goggles.
ADVANCEMENT
In addition to the coach's discretion, swimmers may advance to Red, White, and Blue Groups based upon the completion of a Developmental Advancement Set designed by the coaching staff. Swimmers must be able to: demonstrate the ability to participate within a group setting, understand swimming terminology, and swim at least 3 of the 4 strokes. Participation in at least 1 sanctioned swim meet is preferred.
