The Gator swimmers are assigned to one of three groups by the coaches based on their swimming abilities. Swimmers are regularly evaluated to ensure that they are receiving the instruction and workouts that best fit their swimming and competition needs. Movement from one group to another is done at the coaches’ discretion. Swimmers wishing to join Gators will need to come to the pool and swim for one of our coaches. They will then give you direction as to which group would work best or what skills need to be acquired before joining.
Pre-Comp (4:30-5:00) This group is for swimmers who have
completed swim lessons. They should have a basic understanding of all four of
the competition strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly). Swimmrers work on stroke technique, flip turns, and endurance. They are also
invited to participate in quarterly Gator Intra-squad meets where they can gain
some experience in competing in meets in a low-key environment with their
fellow swimmers. Monthly dues
for this group are $30. This group practices M-F 4:00-4:30. Swimmers may come as many days as they would like for the monthly fee. The more days they choose to participate, the quicker they will move on to the next group. Intermediate Group (5-6pm) Advanced Group (4:30-6:00pm) |
