Competitive Development Swim Team!

• Beginning Competitive Preparation
• An introduction to competitive swimming
• Builds swim skills for life
• A stepping stone to competitive swim clubs and High School Swim Teams

Swimming is a fun team sport and a great way for kids and teens to stay healthy while making lifelong friends.

Swimmers will work to achieve efficient swimming technique in freestyle/front crawl and backstroke through instruction focused on working at the details of each stroke and building swim specific strength.   As each swimmer becomes proficient in those strokes, breaststroke and beginning butterfly instruction will be added. Additionally, flip turns and racing dives will be introduced.

Our program makes use of the outdoor pool at Storrs Pond Recreation Area, Hanover, NH.  This facility has been host to learn-to-swim programs and introductory competitive swim activities since its construction in the 1970’s.

No Previous Competitive Swimming Experience Necessary:  Anyone between the ages of 8 and 18 who is interested in being active, staying in shape, learning, competing and having fun can join.  Swimmers must be Red Cross Level 4 certified to enter the program.

An end of the season local swim meet will top off the season. Participation is encouraged but not required.

Please note:   All swimmers should be prepared for one hour of vigorous swimming and wear swim suits, goggles and bathing caps appropriate for swim training.  Boys baggy jammers and girls two piece suits should be replaced with competition-type suits. Water bottles are required.

$200 for the 6-week program.

Sorry, program fees cannot be adjusted for missed days or weeks.

This group is limited to 12 swimmers and practices 3 times per week.
