Below is the schedule for November 16, 2009 -
February 13, 2010 .
Stroke Team
Clovis Swim Club offers two levels of Stroke Team: Seahorse and
Stingray.
Seahorse is a group for the novice
swimmer. The first two strokes, freestyle and backstroke, are
the focus of this group. Athletes work on proper stroke
technique as well as starts and turns appropriate for these
strokes. Athletes are also introduced to breaststroke and
butterfly minimally. After the athlete has
mastered freestyle and backstroke they progress to the
Stingray level.
Stingray is a level that continues stroke
technique in freestyle and backstroke, but focuses on the final two
competitive strokes of breaststroke and butterfly. Athletes
focus on proper stroke technique, appropriate turns and race starts
for these competitive strokes. The final step is to introduce
athletes to the Individual Medley (IM); a race in which all four
competitive strokes are utilized in a specific order of butterfly,
backstroke, breaststroke then freestyle.
After the athlete has a firm grasp of all four
competitive strokes, is able to complete a 300 yard (12 laps)
freestyle and a 200 IM (8 laps: two of each stroke), the athlete
progresses into the Bronze group; our first competitive level.
