ALMA SWIM CLUB
The Alma Swim Club is an Instructional/Competitive swimming program that includes over 125 kids from 5-18 years of age. Practices are divided into several skill and age groups to accommodate a wide variety of swimmers. The minimum skill level is the ability to swim 1 pool length—kids who have passed the novice 2 lesson level will be ready for swim club. The emphasis with younger swimmers is on skill development, as swimmers progress the emphasis gradually shifts to endurance. There is no expectation or requirement that club members actually compete. About half of the swimmers race, the remaining half are involved for the instruction, exercise and recreation. Our lesson program is really just the 1st step towards becoming a truly safe and competent swimmer, joining the Alma Swim Club and training with the Junior Group is the next step. If you want dramatic improvement in your child’s swimming ability, try us for a summer, the results will surprise.
