  • Dives & Turns
  • Development of ABC's Agility; Balance; Coordination
  • FAST FUN - Anaerobic Speed of 8 seconds or less
  • Flexibility in & out of the water

In addition to the basic water skills, our swimmers learn Positive Group Dynamics through team building exercises; initiating pool rules & by executing proper lane etiquette.

Through regular participation twice a week, Shark swimmers build confidence & positive self esteem by means of encouragement & independence through routines such as:

  • Being on time for practices
  • Packing their own swim bag's (bathing suit, cap, goggles, towel & equipment)​
  • Stretching before & after practices​
  • Trusting themselves & their team mates
