Level 4-5

Group classes for children 6 – 12 years with intermediate experience.

Class Details

  • Age: 6 years – 12 years
  • Class length: 35 minute lessons
  • Class ratio: 4:1

Jr Swim Team is designed to improve skills while building strength and endurance. Jr Swim Team focuses on perfecting strokes, learning starts & turns and building endurance. We add in small competition elements, but still keep it fun. Jr Swim Team can be a place for kids to prepare for joining a real swim team or can also be a perfect place for kids who don’t want to be on a swim team but want to keep swimming and learning.

Students must already be able to do a good backstroke, freestyle and breaststroke. It’s the same cost as a regular group class.

Jr Swim Team A is for our advanced students, working on Level 5+ skills with a minimum age of 8. It requires prescreening for students currently swimming with us or a tryout for new students.

Jr Swim Team B is for students working mainly on Level 4 skills, minimum age of 6.
