Youth Swim Fall 2026

Welcome to Swim Strong: Intro to Competition! 

Interested in Swim Team? Whether you're thinking about joining a swim team for the first time or want to sharpen your swimming skills, this class is for you! 

This program is designed to: 

  • Improve stroke technique and efficiency
  • Build endurance, strength and speed
  • Learn what to expect from a competitive swim team
  • Increase confidence in the water while having fun! 
  • Make lifelong relationships! 

Perfect for swimmers who love the water, have taken swimming lessons and passed all levels and are interested in what comes next! 

Come build your skills, stay active, and make a splash with us! 

Course Requirements:

To ensure all participants have a safe and successful experience, swimmers must meet the following prerequisites before enrolling:

  • Successfully complete Level 5 and Level 6 Swim Lessons (or demonstrate equivalent swimming skills).
  • Have knowledge of three of the four competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly).
  • Swim multiple lengths of the pool without stopping.
  • Follow coach instructions independently in a group setting.

This class is designed as a conditioning and skill development program, not a learn-to-swim class. Because there is one coach leading the group and limited opportunity for one-on-one instruction, swimmers should already have a strong foundation in competitive swimming skills. Meeting these prerequisites allows the coach to focus on improving endurance, technique, and overall performance while providing a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

If you are unsure whether your swimmer is ready for this course, please contact azangl@c-ischools.org to discuss their current skill level or schedule a swim assessment.

This session is focused on swimmers getting ready for the swim team. They have passed level 5, are deep water safe, and are ready to learn more! We will work with stroke development, drills, how to read a workout, and learn tips with starts and turns. This will also be good for the JV swimmers on the current high school team needing some stroke work.
