PRE COMPETITIVE SQUAD LEVEL
Fighting Fish is pleased to announce our new PRE-COMPETITIVE swimming program. This program is designed to provide kids age 4 through 13 with the important life skill of swimming along with the opportunity to develop competitive swimming skills which will enable them to join the Fighting Fish swim team in the future.
Swimming has many positive benefits for kids. Fitness, dedication and continual improvements are just a start... but in the team environment it's a lot of fun as well. Our program will provide kids with the opportunity to learn from experienced swim team coaches who will ensure that kids with the ability and desire move up to the Fighting Fish team as soon as they are ready.
What does Pre Competitive offer?
• Advanced swimming skills targeted at preparation to enter a competitive swim
• Stroke technique
• Diving technique
• Preparation for competitive swimming – starts, turns and finishes
• Swim meets within the pre competitive squad and Fighting Fish Swim Team
• In addition Pre-squad Advanced swimmers will work on endurance, speed and power
How the Pre Competitive Swim School Works
Swimmers will be evaluated during a tryout session (The first to be held on January 16th 2010 9am-11am) We have 32 spaces available for swimmers and they will be placed according to age, ability and prior swimming experience in the Pre Squad levels below.
Pre-Squad Beginner
This group has 30min sessions and is for primary school aged swimmers (4-8 year olds.) It is recommended to attend 2 sessions per week. The minimum requirements are
• Possess some basic stroke knowledge
• Can swim 25m
• Can swim in deep water
Pre-Squad Advanced
This group has 45 min sessions and is for swimmers of intermediate to middle school age (9-13 years.) It is recommended to attend 2 sessions per week. The minimum requirements are
• Sound stroke knowledge of at least three strokes
• Can swim 50m of any one recognisable stroke
• Can swim in deep water
The skill swimmers acquire will be measured by progressive stages (currently Stages 6,7,8 and 9.) Swimmers will be assessed each term with continual ongoing evaluation. Parents will be provided with login information to check their swimmers attendance and skill acquisition through our web site.
Through this Pre Competitive program, the swimmer will increase his or her proficiency and acquire the skills necessary to enter the Fighting Fish Competitive Program. If your swimmer has the ability and desire to move to the competitive program we will do so, as space permits.
