Program Overview

Our Age Group Swim Program is designed for young swimmers ready to grow their skills in a supportive and structured environment. Each group is tailored to the swimmer’s age and experience level, focusing on stroke technique, racing fundamentals, and developing a love for the sport.

Practice Groups:

  • Age Group 1:
    Practice once a week for 1 hour
    Ideal for beginner swimmers who are building comfort and technique in the water. 

  • Age Group 2:
    Practice twice a week for 1 hour each session
    Designed for swimmers ready to expand their skills and commit to more regular training.

  • Age Group 3:
    Practice three times a week for 1 hour each session
    This is for motivated swimmers seeking a deeper focus on stroke efficiency, racing skills, and training endurance.


Training Focus

Across all groups, our practices emphasize:

  • Proper stroke development in all four competitive strokes

  • Mastery of starts and turns

  • The ability and confidence to swim all strokes effectively and legally
