Spring ORCA
Fall//Winter
Our Spring program is a non-competitive program. During the six week sessions; the focus is learning the competitive strokes, fitness, and proficiency. This program is not designed for beginners. Our coaches are on deck and cannot offer individual swim lessons. Pre-requisites: Swimmers must be able to swim 50 yards unassisted. We can give a test at anytime to see if a swimmer is ready.
Swim Meets are only held during the Summer program.
