This group is for novice swimmers. Swimmers must be able to swim one length of the lap pool freestyle, backstroke, and either breaststroke or butterfly without any in-water assistance from an instructor.  They will focus primarily on stroke development while also encouraging swimmers to swim longer distances than 25 yards.  Swimmers will register to swim two times per week for about 1 hour per practice and will swim from August-July.  Swimmers will need to purchase fins to use for training during practices.
