The Pre-Swim Developmental Program
In order to enhance the development of our younger swimmers, Shepherd’s
Vineyard will continue the Pre-Swim developmental program. The Pre-Swim
Developmental Program is designed for those “six and under” swimmers
who are not quite ready to swim in meets. This could be for a variety of
reasons, including lack of confidence (swimming in deep water, for
instance), lack of independence, lack of endurance, lack of strength, or any
combination of the above.
The goal of this group is to develop inexperienced swimmers in
focused sessions and have them join the swim team at some point
during this season.
The pre-swim team should not be thought of as "swim lessons." Swimmers
will not participate in meets until the coaches determine they are ready to
"move up" to the swim team, in that they can meet the qualifications
outlined on page 7 for at least one stroke.
Practice sessions will be offered three mornings and three nights per week.
Practice times will be 5:15-5:45 PM for evening practices and 10:00-10:30
AM for morning sessions.
Qualifications
There is no age requirement, but swimmers must be able to understand
and follow coaches' directions (as well as apply those directions in their
swimming). All decisions will be made at the coaches' discretion.
NOTES
• The first week of practice, the pre-swim team and swim team will practice together for evaluations.
• The refund policy will be the same as the swim team.
• If you have a child participating in the pre-swim team, but no other swimmers on the swim team, you will not have to fulfill volunteer positions until such time as your swimmer joins the team for meets.
