Competitive Skills (Bronze Group)
This group is your child’s introduction to competitive swimming.

Swimmers will continue to develop stroke skills through numerous drills and technique work. Full stroke butterfly will be introduced. Competitive Skills training sessions are offered 3 days a week. For maximum benefit swimmers will attend all training sessions. There is, however, no minimum or maximum number of sessions that a child may attend.

This group emphasizes stroke improvement through drills and stroke work, but with some emphasis now turning to interval training. Swimmers learn to read times off the pace clock and how to follow a structured workout. Swimmers will learn more advanced competitive swimming techniques and continue to improve upon the others. They will train increased distances and establish a basic level of fitness. Workouts are offered 5 days a week. Attendance at all scheduled sessions is strongly encouraged should swimmers wish to continue to advance within the program. All swimmers in the Enthusiasm group are strongly recommended to attend all local swim meets, at least one appropriate-level overseas meet per year and all local half-mile sea swims and the one-mile sea swim.
