PREP: (ages 12 & under)
Most swimmers begin in the PREP program. PREP enrollment may be limited at the discretion of the Head Age Group Coach.
PREP is designed to introduce swimmers to the sport in a non-competitive environment so that swimmers can learn at their own pace. In PREP we focus on comfort, “feel” for the water and building the fundamentals that will help swimmers to learn the racing strokes correctly to move up to the competitive team. We work on team building, practice etiquette, and a lot of fun basic skills. Repetition is vital to learning.
We take time to acquaint swimmers with the idea that we are “racing ourselves” by focusing on personal improvement rather than how we compare to everyone else. Every child learns at his or her own rate. PREP swimmers may attend meets at the discretion of the Head Age Group Coach and PREP Group Coach.
We do not currently offer a "learn to swim" group. To enter the PREP program your swimmer must be able to practice in our deep-end diving well without an instructor in the water. If you are seeking swim lessons for non-swimmers, please email us and we will contact you if we are able to offer them in the future.
Practice Times:
Sept. 7 through Dec. 9 and Jan. 3 through March 4
M/W or T/ TH 6:15-7:00pm and 7:10-7:55pm
Cost: $52 annual registration and $40 per month
*Make up practices may be scheduled for class times missed due to facility schedule conflicts such as High School swim meets hosted at the Webb City pool, but only at the discretion of the group coach.
