The pre-competitive swim team is designed for the 6 to 10 year-old swimmer who cannot swim 50 meters. The child should be able to swim 25 meters. The program is designed for the child who wishes to increase his or her swimming proficiency and overall skill level. (This should not be thought of as swim lessons).
Pre-competitive swimmers may participate in four meets per season. In a pre-competitive meet, all swimmers receive a ribbon, and they may swim in all events. During the season, your swimmer may improve to such a degree that the coach may ask him or her to compete on the competitive team. The coach will explain the eligibility rules to you at that time.
Practice is from 7:30 to 9 a.m. weekdays at Young's Pool.
All meets are on Saturdays.
