AQUA ACADEMY
This is our entry level group. An athlete need not be able to initially swim all strokes to enter this group. The Aqua Academy focuses on the mechanical techniques involved with the four competitive strokes, their associated starts, turns and finishes. The swimming student experiences a small coach-to-swimmer ratio. The instruction is provided in a low-key setting. There is no athletic training or formal conditioning provided through this program. The program is designed to prepare the swimmer who successfully completes the program for the progression to the entry level on the Norwin Aqua Club. All classes are held at the Norwin High School pool.
