Pre-Swim Developmental Program (SV pool members only)
Designed for 7 years old and under who are extremely comfortable in the water, but not quite ready for the swim team and meets.  This could be for a variety of reasons, including lack of confidence (swimming in deep water, for instance), lack of independence, lack of endurance, lack of strength, or any combination of the above.  Participants will learn and refine proper swim strokes (freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke) and work on dive starts.  The goal is to develop inexperienced swimmers in focused sessions and have them join (“move up to”) the swim team at some point during this season.  Participants will sign up for weekly sessions ($15/week).
