Junior Group Registration
The Junior Group provides young swimmers with a pre-competitive introduction to the sport of swimming. Emphasis is placed on enjoyment, stroke technique and individual achievement within the program.
The Junior Group is geared for ages 6 to 12. A swimmer needs to be deep water safe (as deemed by the coaching staff) and have basic swimming skills (front crawl and backstroke for 15 meters). During each session there will be a continuous evaluation of each swimmer, each swimmer will be moved to a suitable group as required at each location, each swimmer will have an opportunity to see their improvement each session via a Junior Group sponsored swim meet.
- Session # 1: September - December: Approximately 11-12 Weeks
- Session # 2: January - March: Approximately 9-10 Weeks
- Session # 3: March - June: Approximately 11-12 Weeks
The Junior Group swim program consists of the following areas of development.
Step 1 - Skill Builder
¤ Development of essential basic skills of four competitive strokes, starts, turns
¤ Short distance swimming & kicking to ensure quality of technique
¤ Development of swimming fitness and endurance through drills, challenges and fun
Step 2 - Skill Development
¤ Strokes, skills, and kicking proficiency are polished and practiced
¤ Distance is increased without compromise of technique quality
¤ Combinations of tasks are linked together to challenge and further develop each swimmer in a child friendly environment
Step 3 - Skills & Endurance
¤ Endurance and skills are enhanced to be able to maintain quality of stroke 'stronger and longer'
¤ Swim drills and kicking challenges and combinations of skills enrich this level in readiness for what’s ahead in this swimmer friendly setting
¤ Expected outcome is performance of the Individual Medley combination
Step 4 - Race Readiness
¤ Skill and enjoyment continue to coincide as we build this keen group to race readiness
¤ Adding to the swimmer’s ability to swim all four strokes will be pace clock use, more challenges and longer distance swims and kicking
¤ Expected outcome will be readiness to ‘step up’ to the GO competitive squad
