Johnston Community Education

Introduction to Competitive Swimming is a transitional class that bridges the gap between swimming lessons and competitive swim team. This class will teach freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, flip turns, and racing starts. Each class will focus on one technique per class to help students learn the skills needed for competitive swimming. Swimmers should come into the class being able to swim a minimum of 25 yards freestyle, 25 yards backstroke, and be comfortable in deep water. At the end of the class, the instructors will evaluate each student to determine if they are ready for swim team.
