LEVELS OF SWIMMING
Under the USA Swimming umbrella there are different levels of involvement as well as entry points to the sport. Many children get their competitive start through a neighborhood swim team, local recreational team, country club, school team or a USA Swimming club team. At this level, swimmers learn and refine swimming skills and begin to compete against their peers. As swimmers mature, the goals become a little bigger and they move into higher levels of swimming. Our levels are broken down as follows:
​
MINI-WAVERUNNERS

This program is for beginner swim team level swimmers. Improve your stroke and increase your endurance. Must be able to swim one length of the pool - any stroke to join team. Emphasis is on learning the four competitive strokes; Freestyle, Breaststroke, Backstroke, and Butterfly.
