Mini Warriors Program

Our Mini Warriors developmental program provides a bridge between basic swim lessons and competitive training. This year, we will offer two class times to choose from in each session. Members will be able to sign up for one session or both: First-come, first-served, and a limit of 10 swimmers per class. Don’t delay – spots fill up quickly. Mini Warriors are for children aged 5 or 6 years, no exceptions.

First Session: TBD

Second Session: TBD

Class Times for Both Sessions: typically 8:45 am - 9:15 and 9:30 am - 10:00 am (times will be confirmed early 2026)

 

Must have a minimum of 6 students in each class.  If not, we will need to combine the classes into one time slot.

Basic Skills Assessment Mini Warrior Transitional Program Information Sheet

The purpose of the Mini Warrior developmental program is to provide a bridge between basic swim lessons and competitive training. The Assistant Coach will run/administer this program on a daily basis with oversight from the Head Coach. Junior Coaches will be the primary coaches for all mini warriors. This program is not designed to provide private swim lessons; it is an opportunity to participate in a team environment and swim in a structured environment and have fun.

Note: If your child swam on the competition team last year, your child is too advanced for the Mini Warriors program.

Mini Warriors is geared towards children 5 - 6 years old, who are able to meet our Basic Skills Assessment criteria but not ready to swim the entire length of the pool.

• Basic Skills Assessment (administered on the first day of practice):
o Ability to traverse half the length of the pool (12.5 meters) in deep water, unassisted o Ability to float on stomach, with face in water
o Willingness to jump or dive into deep water

The program's goals include: (i) improving the crawl (freestyle) stroke, (ii) building endurance towards an ability to swim the entire length of the pool unassisted and without stopping, (iii) learning a racing dive, and (iv) competing by season's end against other Mini Warriors in at least one 25 meter freestyle race.

WHAT MINI Warriors GET TO DO AND RECEIVE

  • Mini Warriors are eligible to swim in "B" meets as soon as they demonstrate an ability to swim the full length of the pool.

  • Mini Warriors are invited to participate in team social events, picture day, team awards ceremony and other social activities, just like members of the Competition Team.

  • Mini Warrior can participate in all home B meets where kickboard races are allowed.

  • VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS - There are no volunteer requirements but we always will welcome help. We recommended that you volunteer at one of the Sunday Hot Dog dinners. ​ This is a huge fundraiser for our team and a great way to meet other parents who will have a wealth of knowledge about our program.
