DEVELOPMENTAL "LEARN TO SWIM" PROGRAMÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â
Our Developmental "Learn to Swim" Program is our program specifically designed to meet the needs of our young swimmers who have the desire to be in the water, but lack the swimming skills. Â In this program, swimmers work in small groups with instructors in the water and do not need to know how to swim to participate. Â This program has a more intensive and progressive approach than your traditional swim lessons with the goal to develop the swimmer's skills so that they are able to participate at the swim team level by the end of the program. Â
Practices are generally held Monday - Thursday with occasional Friday
or weekend practices.  Although, swimmers are assigned a specific practice time and group based on ability, swimmers have the flexibility to attend the days they want to attend. Â
