Sharks
6 - 12 year olds

This class is where we focus on bilateral side breathing. The students are also ready to learn the flip turns by pushing off the wall in a back streamline and executing sit-down dives with the correct commands. We will also work on teaching butterfly and breaststroke progression with breathing. In the Shark class, we are preparing our swimmers for swim team abilities. Many times on a swim team, proper strokes are not practiced and work out distance is what is focused on. We work with our swimmers on the benefit of doing all the strokes correctly which result in faster swims on the swim team! Class limit: 4

The Goals of a Sharks Class:

1. Master freestyle with bi-lateral breathing
2. Flip turn with pushing off the wall into a back streamline
3. Breaststroke and butterfly progression with breathing

The requirements to move to the Pre Swim Team class are: Be able to demonstrate bilateral breathing; breathing for stroke of the week; and be comfortable with flip turns at the wall. For 5 -13 year olds, visit our Pre-Swim Team section.
