Development Team (DT)

DT is a unique year-round program for beginner to intermediate level swimmers looking to improve their strokes and endurance before making the leap to fully competitive swimming.  It is perfect for younger swimmers who are looking for an introduction to year-round swimming, or for older swimmers who enjoy swimming during the fall and winter but also wish to continue to participate in other sports and activities.

DT offers lots of hands-on coaching and personal attention from our coaching staff, ensuring that our youngest swimmers develop into talented athletes!

We offer a variety of days for practices to accommodate the swimmer’s busy schedule.  We suggest you attend three practices a week to begin your development in this sport.  We typically split each practice into two or three levels with each group practicing 45 minutes.  We typically spend a great deal of time during a practice on stroke development and teaching other components of this sport. Typical ages in this group are 5-10 years old.
