Course Description The Introduction to Competitive Swimming course bridges the gap between swimming lessons and competitive swim team. This class will teach the finer points of freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, flip turns, and racing starts. Each class will focus on one or two skills 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. If parents are not sure their child is ready, please contact the Aquatics Coordinator to set up an evaluation prior to attending class.
