Kids Pre-Swim Team

Richmond Swims offers a Pre-Swim Team course for Richmond youth, age 6-15. This lesson program is for kids that know how to swim and think they might be interested in joining a swim team in the future, but need a bit more practice before they would be comfortable signing up for a team.

Coach John Schonder and his assistants will introduce the competitive swim strokes, instruct swimmers on their stroke technique, and teach pool etiquette for workout swimming. Those who enjoy the class, have the option of signing up for the Richmond Sailfish swim team at the conclusion of the course. Sailfish teammates continue building their endurance and swimming skills, attending regularly scheduled practices at the Plunge.

Requirements

To qualify for the class, each student must be able to tread water for one minute, swim a minimum of 20 yards, and transition from swimming on their stomach to their back and vice versa.

Cost

The cost is $60 for 6 lessons.
