Fundamentals Class :
For the independent, but not efficient, swimmer
Fundamentals class started in the Spring of 2021 when there was a backlog of kids who did not have strong swim skills. They were not afraid of the water. However, they did not know how to swim freestyle. With the use of fins and Coach Kyle’s command, we promoted a large group of kids to swim team by the end of the session. The ongoing intention for our Fundamental Class program is for Spring participants to be promoted to swim team after completion.
