Pre-Fins Group
This is one of the most exciting additions to Dolphin Club in years ! Due to the overwhelming success and excitement of our summer swim team , we have added the Pre-Fins program to our team . In order to be in this group , your young athlete must be able to complete a 25 free or 25 back unassisted and must be the age of 4 or older . While swimmers in this group will not compete in USA Swimming meets , they very much will be members of the “ Fin Family ” and will have a “ fun meet ” at the end of each of the three 8 week sessions .
Swimmers in this group will focus greatly on learning the fundamentals of all four strokes over the course of 8 weeks and are greatly encouraged to swim each of the three different 8 week sessions to enjoy the full benefit of being a member of Dolphin Club . Development will be different for each athlete , and coaches will be focusing on improving each individual swimmer for what comes next in their progression rather than having a specific set of skills that they have to do regardless of their current ability . The coach to swimmer ratio will be low in order to provide the best quality coaching possible , and the fun to swimmer ratio will be blown out of the water !
