The Little ‘Cuda program was created for children between the ages of 3-7, who are not yet ready for the swim team experience, but who are interested in learning how to swim like one of the “big kids”. It is our hope that this program will encourage these swimmers to join the swim team some day, maybe next year! Participants should be comfortable being in a pool without a parent or sibling in the water with them. There are no team suit or cap requirements, but hair pulled back goggles might be helpful to them.
The Little ‘Cudas will meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, 11:00 am – 11:30 am, at the Beach Club pool. They will be practicing in the lanes beside the 6 & Under swim team practice. The first practice will be Wednesday, June 1. Bring your little ones sun screened and ready to have fun! The schedule will be targeted to work on the following:
Wed., June 1 - meet & get comfortable with the water and coaches, bubble blowing, breath control and floating
Fri., June 3 – assess ability levels, floating ability, learn streamline and play a game
Mon., Wed., and Fri., June 6 – 10 - continue floating, practice streamline and flutter kicking, introduce arm coordination for freestyle Mon., Wed., and Fri., June 13 –17 - continue flutter kicking and freestyle arm coordination, introduce backstroke
