Skill Level: Beginner
--- Swimmers must be able to swim 2 different strokes, comfortably, for a length of the pool.

This is our entry level group. Children must be able to swim 2 different strokes, each for 25 yards. Anyone new to a swim team environment will start in this group. This group swims twice a week.
All 8&Unders are automatically Mini-Hawk swimmers. An advanced 8 year old may be moved lanes into the Junior group. Coaches will discuss these decisions with the parents. We want swimmers to have the skills down before they add the endurance component.
