Competitive

Swimmers who have completed their I Can Swim training are eligible to join in with our Development aka "D" Group.  

Minimum prerequisite: swim 200m Freestyle, 100m Backstroke, 50m Breaststroke, and 25m Butterfly all with the legal starts, turns, and touches... as long as the attempts are made!

Swimmers will refine the 4 Swimming strokes along with solidifying each stroke specific rules:

• Freestyle
• Backstroke
• Breaststroke
• Butterfly

Focus for this level is mastering the basics of floatation and body position.  Propulsion with the legs ie "kick" is also a major component of this level of Swimming.  The rules for each of the Strokes in the Sport of Swimming are reinforced and swimmers will work to expand their endurance with an eye towards improving their Swimming for competition.

Participation in competition is encouraged for all participants at least 1 x per cycle (3 mo period).
