| Prep Team This is our entry-level group. An athlete must be at least 4 years old and have some experience with swimming. Athletes must be able to enter the water confidently and understand they are here to learn. The prep team is designed to teach young athletes the four competitive strokes. Coaches are in the water with the swimmers for the duration of the practice, working to build key swimming skills that enable the swimmer to swim a length of the pool by the end of the season.
