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
Evaluations: We will be holding evaluations for new swim team members the 1st Tuesday after Memorial Day each season to determine pre-team eligibility.
Transitioning to the Team: This decision is made on an individual basis at the discretion of our coaches when swimmers are ready. You and your child will be notified when they have been promoted to the team. From that date forward, the swimmer will be entered in all dual meets and can attend the Beginner Practice Group.
Please contact one of the coaches with any questions.
