Our Recreation program offers novice - level swimmers an opportunity to enhance & refine their swimming skills beyond lessons. This program allows swimmers to improve their technique and conditioning while learning the fundamental skills that are necessary in competitive practices. The Recreation group can help prepare swimmers for our year-round Club Team if they are able to make minimum expectations for their appropriate age group. This program runs September - June.
