Ages: 6–9 Years
This is the first level of competitive swimming within our program for young swimmers ages 6–9. Athletes are introduced to all four competitive strokes and the fundamental skills of competitive swimming. Swimmers develop their technique and confidence in a fun, team-oriented environment, with the emphasis placed on skill development, participation, and enjoyment rather than performance times.
Practices: 3 training sessions per week
Pool: Brookfield Residential YMCA at Seton*
Practice Schedule: 2 × 90-minute practices and 1 × 60-minute practice per week.

- In order to maintain enough trained officials to run swim meets, we ask members to take a class and and train a new officiating position each year. There is a $150 officials deposit added to your registration (excluding Varsity registrations) to help support this initiative. Once you have taken the course and shadowed the position on deck, the deposit will be refunded to your account. All information can be reviewed in our Officiating page.
