*A group lessons program offered to older (ages ~11-14) intermediate level swimmers who feel comfortable swimming beyond 25 yd/m. FINS coaches will work with swimmers in a group setting to refine swimmers’ technique in all four strokes, gain exposure to race pace swimming, become more proficient with swimming skills (including starts, flipturns, and more!), and further swimming vocabulary. Practices take place in a 25 yd/m “competition” pool.
*Swordfish is a great group for intermediate swimmers who have experience participating on a swim team or have received some type of organized swim instruction and are looking to refine their skills in all four strokes.
*In order to participate, swimmers must feel comfortable swimming beyond 25 yd/m of the pool with a clear understanding of all four strokes. Strokes may not be “perfect”, but swimmers should be familiar with the general motions that make up every stroke.
Note: Parents are able to view the pool and session from a designated seating area or from outside of the facility, but are not allowed to be in immediate proximity to the practice. Those more advanced intermediate swimmers who feel comfortable swimming beyond 25 yd/m of the pool and already showcase more developed technique in all strokes will be able to transition into more advanced groupings after being evaluated during practice. Divisions within this group will exist based on swimmer abilities.
