2010 season
Junior Swim Team
The Junior Swim Team will be available to those swimmers who may need assistance with water safety or are not quite ready for the Competitive Team. For safety reasons, to swim on the Competitive Team your child has to be able to swim one lap of side breathing freestyle. If they cannot meet this requirement, please sign up for our Junior Swim Team.
The Junior Swim Team is a very high quality lesson program. We take 4 year-olds and up. There are 3 levels starting with non swimmers. When they graduate from the 3rd level they move onto the Competitive Team. The groups are 2-4 kids so they get lots of attention. If you start on the Junior Team and graduate onto the Competitive Team, the dues will be pro-rated.
Before registering for Junior Swim Team, contact Jack Naylor [naylorj08@yahoo.com | 847-0540] to confirm a space for your swimmer.
Should my child join the Junior Swim Team?

I don’t know what my child’s skills are. Is there a try-out?
There will be a try out on March 1st, the first day of practice. Kids that cannot meet the 25 yard side breathing requirement will be placed in the Junior Team. It is best to error on the side of caution. A child put into the Junior Team and is ready to move up will feel good. A child who is placed in a group that is over their heads will often feel overwhelmed and want to quit. That first impression is very important. If you are sure your child can make 25 yards of side breathing freestyle, sign up for the Competitive Team. If you have doubts start with the Junior Team by contacting Jack Naylor.
How long is this program?
This program runs for 4 months along side the regular swim team season, starting on March 1st and ending June 30th.
What experience should my child have?
