This group focuses on freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke with an introduction to butterfly.
We teach swimmers how to work in a training group and work on developing swimming skills and drills to head toward competitive swimming.

Racing Skills and the opportunity to get timed swims occurs in our Dragon Racing sessions held each Saturday morning. These sessions are included as part of the squad package.
