Pre-Fins Group
Instructor : Aquatics Staff Ages : 5-8
Pre-fins is a great way to keep your child active this year while introducing them to Dolphin Club swim team program ! Practices are coached as a hybrid between a swim team practice and group swim lessons . This gives the swimmers more personal attention from our coaches to improve their strokes , while also giving them a taste of the competitive swimming world . The Pre-fins program emphasizes learning , fitness , and fun ! Pre-Fin swimmers will learn the basics of all 4 competitive strokes in an encouraging atmosphere . The coaches focus on teaching proper stroke technique , introducing starts and turns , and developing a joy of swimming using games , activities , and challenges . The interpersonal skills necessary to compete in the sport of swimming also will be taught – working with teammates , following directions , listening to the coaches , and having fun .
We will wrap up each session with a fun intra-squad meet held at the Weinstein JCC that will give each swimmer a taste of the excitement of competing in a swim meet !
Practice Recommendations :
Two practices a week are recommended but not required . Each practice session lasts 45 minutes . Swimmers can expect to work up to swimming 500 to 1,000 yards per practice session .
