Training Squad Information
Training squad is pre-swim team program for our newest swimmers. Training squad is a small group, hands on program held in the shallow end of the pool. Our coaches focus on the introduction of all four strokes as well as breathing technique. Swimmers should be comfortable in the water and be able to put their face fully under the water. Our training squad swimmers will get an opportunity to experience meet swimming in our Wednesday night B meets. Many of our training squad swimmers will move up to swim team by end of the season.
