Iowa Flyers Swim Club

Practice days: Monday through Saturday (Morning practices are optional, but must be approved by SR2:P lead coach)
 
Practice Objectives: The suggested age for this group is 15 years and older.  This group is intended for swimmers who seek to master the five competitive strokes and race techniques.  Additionally, the swimmer should have the ability to set goals and evaluate them on a continual basis.   Swim meets are highly encouraged as a means to help swimmers set improvement goals as well as a fun way to participate in the sport.
