The Pre Swim Team class focuses on swimming 25 yards (length) of the pool instead of the width which is done in the "Learn to Swim" Program.  There is also a focus on swimming longer distances as well as working on technique for all 4 strokes, flip turns, & starts.  This class is only for students that were in group 4 in our program or advanced group 3 students.  New swimmers to the program would need to be evaluated.

Sundays 6:00-6:40PM September 20th-October 25th

The class will run for 6 weeks. The cost is $150.

Pool

All levels of instruction are taught from beginner to advanced levels. Saint Patrick High School swim lessons are based on repetition of basic skills. Students will do multiple repetitions of skills to encourage muscle memory with all swimmers swimming the width of the pool. Participants are tested on the first day of each session to see what group they will be placed in. Groups are based on ability not age. There are 4 different groups from Beginner to Advanced. We promote up to the next level when students have mastered the skills in their group and the instructor & participant are confident in their ability to move up to the next level.  Ages: PRE K (4year olds) -13 year olds.  No swim diapers.

**No make ups or refunds once the session has started**
