The Mini Olympians program is designated to introduce swimming to children age 8 yrs and under. New participants are children who love the water, eager to learn, and would like to be introduced to the competitive side of swimming.
In Mini Olympians, swimmers will be introduced to all four strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle). This will include other skills such as; streamline, push offs, beginner turns.The program will also teach children sport skills such as listening to instructions, sportsmanship, & perseverance through hard work. Each child progresses through the program of stroke instruction, correction, and evaluation at his/her own rate. The practice schedule permits participants to continue with other community, school, and home activities.
