SSA Age Group II / Pre-Team Program
Seacoast Swimming Association offers a Pre-Team (Age Group II) program for children who have the ability to swim a basic crawl stroke (freestyle) and any form of backstroke. During practice emphasis is placed on learning and refining the four competitive strokes used in U.S.A. Swimming (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle), learning how to do a streamline shallow dive, basic turns, as well as becoming familiar with practice routines.
While teaching all the different skills, coaches try to incorporate some form of fun into every practice!
Children in Seacoast's pre-team (Age Group II) program range in age from 5 to 12 years old and practive twice per week for 45 minutes. The coach to swimmer ratio is usually 1 to 8. The sessions conclude with a fun mini-meet for all pre-team swimmers (awards for everyone).
SSA Age Group II / Pre-Team Schedule
Spring Session begins the week of April 25th and runs until the week of June 7th with no practice on May 30th or May 31st.
The coaching staff is looking forward to working with your children! All young swimmers should have a well fitting swim suit and we highly recommend swim goggles. We will have some inexpensive goggles at registration. If your child has long hair, it must be tied back or he/she must wear a swim cap.
