Nottingham Marlins Pre-Team
The Nottingham Marlins Pre-team provides children who are not yet able to swim the full length of the pool an opportunity to participate with the Marlins program. This program gives children the skills and confidence to progress with their swimming ability, and is not intended to be a lesson program.
Requirements:
- swimmer must swim half the length of the pool
- swimmer must jump into the deep-end by themselves and swim to a nearby coach
- swimmer must tread water or float for 10 seconds
- swimmer must fully submerge head underwater
Note: Pre-team practices will end by the first official meet. By this date, the expectation is that pre-team swimmers will be able to complete the length of the pool and advance to the 8 & under practice group.
Evaluations: We will be holding evaluations for new swim team members each season to determine pre-team eligibility. Sign-up link is below.
*New Link will be provided shortly.*
Transitioning to the Team: This decision is made on an individual basis at the discretion of our coaches. Your child will be given a certificate indicating they have been promoted to the team. From that date forward, the swimmer will be entered in all dual meets.
Please contact one of the coaches with any questions.
