Swimmers in this group will learn

  • Front Crawl (often called Freestyle)
  • Backstroke
  • Breaststroke
  • Butterfly

as well as a number of useful skills for both training and racing.

Discovery is our introductory group for athletes from 11 to 14 years old. It is geared toward teaching those new to the sport of swimming the fundamentals of the competitive strokes and give athletes and families an introduction to the sport. We teach not only the skills necessary to participate in practices and competitions, but what makese swimming, and swimming with FRST, special!

We highly recommend getting involved in swim meets (as competitors for the kids, and as volunteers for parents) as early as feasible for members of this group. Although the sport can be overwhelming at first, the friendships, achievements, and oppportunities provided by diving in head first are most certainly worth it!

If you have questions about getting started on the journey of swimming, take a quick look at the information below and feel free to reach out via our Contact Us! form, or by emailing Coach Ethan directly at [email protected].
