Novice Group – Development Stream

The SWAT Novice Group is the entry stage of our Developmetn Stream, which is the intro to competitive swimming on our team. Geared toward beginner to intermediate swimmers they will continue to experience the FUN and enjoyment competitive swimming offers while also being introduced to more of a “training atmosphere”. This practice group is structured to increase swimmer competency across all four competitive strokes and solidify competitive skills and race rules. Swimmers continue to build on our first
team value “Team Pride”, where the focus is on creating a community of support for achievements at all levels of our sport both individually and as a team.
