Pre-Fins Group
This is one of the most exciting additions to Dolphin Club in years! Due to the overwhelming success and excitement of our summer swim team, we have added the Pre-Fins program to our team. In order to be in this group, your young athlete must be able to complete a 25 free or 25 back unassisted and must be the age of 4 or older. While swimmers in this group will not compete in USA Swimming meets, they very much will be members of the“ Fin Family” and will have a“ fun meet” at the end of each of the three 8 week sessions.
Swimmers in this group will focus greatly on learning the fundamentals of all four strokes over the course of 8 weeks and are greatly encouraged to swim each of the three different 8 week sessions to enjoy the full benefit of being a member of Dolphin Club. Development will be different for each athlete, and coaches will be focusing on improving each individual swimmer for what comes next in their progression rather than having a specific set of skills that they have to do regardless of their current ability. The coach to swimmer ratio will be low in order to provide the best quality coaching possible, and the fun to swimmer ratio will be blown out of the water!
