Spring Swim Clinics

   Swimming is a life skill that everyone should have. During our swim clinics in April each year, participants are grouped as closely as possible with swimmers of the same ability level. With high school swim team instructors in the water, swimmers will be given hands-on instruction with the goal of improving both comfort and skill in the water.  Equipment needed: suit (one piece preferred), goggles (no masks, if possible), towel

   Thanks to a grant from the Decatur County Community Foundation, scholarships for these clinics are available. Please request a form if interested.

BEGINNER: Learn to Swim Clinic…with instructors in the water 

   This group is designed for non-swimmers and is focused on the basics of swimming.  Open to ages 5 through 5th grade.  ALL swimmers in the clinic MUST at least be comfortable in the water.  We are limiting each group to 25 swimmers.  Choose which time slot works best for you.  First come first serve. Our Learn to Swim clinic is held from 4:15-4:45 pm and 4:45-5:15 pm for two weeks in mid-April.

INTERMEDIATE: Swim with the Sharks Clinic…swim in the water unassisted

Our Swim with the Sharks clinic is held from 3:30-4:15 for two weeks in mid-April.

Group 1: Geared toward kids who are above the Learn to Swim group in skill (can swim unassisted 25 freestyle and backstroke), but are 

        not quite ready for the older Swim with the Sharks group. Coach approval required.

Group 2: Focused on improving the technique of swimmers who are…1) able to swim 25 yards unassisted (freestyle and backstroke) and

 2) ready to learn breaststroke and butterfly. Open to ages 5-18.

ADVANCED: Shark Training Camp

   Get ready for our summer swim team during April with pre-season training camp.  Former DCTS swimmers 6th grade and up are encouraged to join us at camp.  If you’re not a former DCTS swimmer (or you’re below 6th grade), approval from Coach will be required.
