H2O Go!
Hey kids! Are you a pretty good swimmer already? Would you like some lap time to get in shape and get in the fast lane? H2O Go orchestrates lap times so that you can swim with kids in your own skill bracket.
Please note- There are prerequisites for the three different skill groups. To enter this program, the instructor will need to see basic strokes to make sure the swimmer will be comfortable swimming laps with other children at a set speed. As this four-month program develops… the group will be advancing. The level of skill that a late comer needs may be higher. For example, an Introductory Group swimmer is expected to be comfortable in all four competitive strokes to enter this program by the second month in the season.
INTRODUCTORY GROUP: skill level at the beginning of the season (September for fall and January for spring) for entry into the program:
Age 8 & under
Tu/Wed 5:30-6pm & Sat 9-9:45am
Cost $60/month or $160 for the season
These swimmers swim both freestyle and backstroke very well. They should be breathing to the side on freestyle with rhythmic timing.
Emphasis is placed on developing the proper techniques and fundamentals of the four competitive strokes. Most of the time is spent developing breaststroke & butterfly. Swimmers will gradually build stamina by increasing the yardage. Swimmers should be able to swim at a Red Cross Level 4 in swimming lessons before entering this group. Please note that breast stroke and butterfly are developed in the first 3-4 weeks of the clinic, therefore, late registration will not be permitted after the end of the first month if your swimmer cannot swim all 4 strokes.
INTERMEDIATE GROUP:skill level for entry into the program at the beginning of the season:
Age 9-10
Tu/Wed 6-6:45pm & Sat 7-9am
Cost $70/month or $170 for the season
These swimmers know how to swim all four strokes and are technically sound. Technique and speed will be alternated each week. On speed weeks, swimmers will raise their heart rates and the yardage. This group will continue working on technique, but will keep working hard to prepare for swimmer.
SENIOR GROUP: skill level for entry into the program at the beginning of the season:
Age 11 & Up
Tu/Wed 6:25-7:25 & Sat 7-9 am
Cost $80/month or $180 season
These swimmers swim all four strokes very well, and many are on the verge, or have already become a State level swimmer. This group will work mostly on speed and continuing the technique work in preparation for next summer.
