Question: What is the Jr Seahorse program all about?
Answer: The Junior Seahorse program is for swimmers age 4-6 who are able to swim comfortably on their own (do not require a coach to assist). Junior Seahorses are not quite ready to swim a full 25 yards of freestyle and backstroke on their own which is a requirement for the Seahorses*
Junior Seahorses will receive excellent personalized and group instruction to learn proper technique and move up the ranks. There will also be two fun swim meets for the Juniors this year!!
Question: Can you provide more detail?
Answer:
- Swimmer must be at least 4 years of age
- Swimmer must be comfortable in the water and get in without screaming/clutching a Coach
- Swimmer must be able to keep their head above water on their own without use of a flotation device
- Swimmer must have age-appropriate listening skills
*Once a Junior Seahorse has received approval from their coach they can move up and begin swimming with the Seahorses*
**Junior Seahorse observations are mandatory for first year Juniors. Observations will be conducted Monday, May 4th through Thursday, May 7th from 4-4:30pm. No reservations are necessary. Please email Coach Josh if you have any questions**
