Class Description
Pre-Competitive

Our Aqua Club program is the perfect fit for those looking for their first experience with a competitive swim team while balancing their involvement in other activities. This training group is meant to bridge the gap between our learn-to-swim program and our year-round competitive swim team. Swimmers spend most of their focus building endurance to improve freestyle and backstroke. We will work on developing breaststroke, teaching butterfly, and introducing starts and flip turns. This program will enable swimmers to learn, improve and compete in a fun environment.
