JR. POSEIDON (5-15 years)
Having mastered the fundamentals, swimmers are introduced to the four competitive swimming strokes as well as rescue skills and healthy lifestyle habits. Students learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique, developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity.
