DO YOU LOVE TO SWIM?

Learn with the Junior Dolphins!

The Junior Dolphin Program is an introduction to the sport of competitive swimming. Emphasis is placed on stroke development, endurance and individual achievement of personal goals. Swimmers are encouraged to improve their skill development in the four competitive strokes - butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle.

Swimmers in the Junior Dolphin Program are eligible to participate in the I Can Swim Program offered through Swimming Nations Canada during their regular practice sessions. The skills in the I Can Swim Program are included in the progression throughout the four levels of training.

The Junior Dolphin Program consists of four levels of training: Pups, Pups Plus, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Advanced Plus. Each of the levels has defined skills that must be achieved before going on to the next group.

Swimmers have the opportunity to participate in "Mini Swim Meets" throughout the season to monitor their improved swim progress. Parents and swimmers are introduced to all elements of a successful swim meet, but in a much more relaxed atmosphere. Emphasis is put on the individual swimmers progress thought the season and not on the winning of events.
