Pre-competitive
Finished with our swimming lesson program (level IV) or already know how to…
- Swim freestyle for 25 yards (one length of the pool),
- Swim backstroke for 25 yards (one length of the pool), and
- Submerge and push off the wall underwater and glide for a distance of 3 body lengths, surface, and then return to the starting wall using any style?
Our pre-competitive program is like competitive swimming lessons. Kids have the opportunity to practice up to twice a week, learning all four competitive strokes, starts, turns and finishes as well as more about the sport and what it takes to join a competitive club program or school team. Even if participants never swim competitively, they will learn to swim more efficiently and further which means safer and more confident swimmers for life.
