The Mini Squad program swims twice per week depending on the level of the swimmer – Group 1: Monday & Wednesday/ Group 2: Tuesday & Thursday. The focus of these groups is to have fun while learning new swimming skills through drills, games and group activities. Swimmers are monitored regularly and are assessed on an individual basis. When the coach feels the swimmer is ready, they move from this group into the first entry level of the competitive swim program.
