Brierwood Swim Team Schedule
Swim Team A The Bandits
8:30-9:45 This will be a practice for our older swimmers 11-18 and any younger swimmers that swim higher levels during the winter
Younger swimmers that CAN keep up are welcome but a coach
Will not be giving a private lane or separate practices
NO little kids… they must wait to swim at their practice.
We will concentrate on fitness, endurance, speed and conditioning
Stroke drills, starts and turns and technique every day
Swim Team B The Banditos
9:45-10:45 This a practice for those who have been on the team before and can complete one length comfortably
Ages 5-11 that need work on their strokes and speed
Every day will be lessons on stroke and technique, speed and endurance
This is NOT a time for older kids to get their practice in cause they like to sleep in.
Swim Team C New Kids on the Blocks!!
10:45-11:45 New to swim team Anyone who wants to swim and
Thinking of competing (you don’t have to swim meets)
Can’t make a full length, need to learn strokes, diving, turns
Ages3-11 are welcome You can swim in meets once you can swim a whole length
Able to move up to other levels when goals are attained
Brierwood Bandits has grown from a small team of 33 kids in 2005 to 105 in 2009 !!!!!
It is important that swimmers swim at the appropriate time Lanes get very crowded when kids show up at the wrong practice.
We are only going to have two coaches on at each practice and this makes it difficult if other levels show up for individual attention.
All of the country club teams have one hour practices for each age group if your child needs more practice feel free to join your USA teams summer program.
Parents are needed to step up and volunteer to make things happen.
Summer Swim Lessons
Summer 2010 brings us a new swim lessons schedule. To better accommodate the overcrowding of classes we have more times where your child can take lessons. This also will help alleviate any conflicts with Tennis and Golf.
There will be two classes offered each hour . a class limit of 6 swimmers will ensure the teachers can work effectively with your child.
Sign ups for lessons will be available by calling the pool office 648-2700 ext 239
We will take the calls in order that they come in. I will be in the office a few days a week to start off.The Pool (weather permitting) is opening on the 22nd( for weekends ( or maybe Memorial Day)
Guppies: new swimmers…no experience, afraid of water, unsure if they want to swim, all sinkers welcome!!! These groups will benefit from smaller classes and will usually take place on the stairs in the lower end to accommodate those that may be afraid to hold on to the ledge. Lessons will be geared towards teaching your child to be comfortable in the pool while teaching floating, breath holding, beginning strokes and pool safety
Minnows: Swimmers that still need assistance ,have experience in a deeper pool, like to be in the water ,can swim one or two strokes, dog paddle,go under water with out being afraid. These classes will be geared towards making the swimmer independent in the water. Enhancing their skills and water safety.
Sharks: These swimmers are independent in the water but need assistance with their stroke and endurance. A great swim team prequel. Emphasis will be put on developing skills in deep water and self sufficiency,and safety. This is the only class that the enrollment can exceed 6 swimmers.
