Swim Team Information
Swimming is a great way for kids to
get the exercise they need while developing skills and having fun.
Plus, swimming is an excellent lifetime fitness activity that everyone
of all ages can participate in. Every swimmer competes against
swimmers of their own age division. Age groups for swimming are as
followed:
-
8 years old and younger.
-
9 – 10 years old.
-
11 – 12 years old.
-
13 – 14 years old.
-
15 – 18 years old.
In order to join the
“SHARKS” Swim Team, your
child MUST know the basic skills, front crawl and back crawl
also known in the swim world as the freestyle and backstroke. Ages 8
and under MUST be able to swim a minimum of 25 yards, the
length of the pool, using both the freestyle and backstroke. All the
older age groups MUST be able to swim a minimum of 50 yards,
two lengths of the pool, using both the freestyle and backstroke also.
For additional information
on this excellent program, PLEASE come by the Grant County Recreation
Pool or call us at
620-356-4244.
Pre-Swim Information
*Summer
Only*
If your child is
interested in becoming a future member of the
“SHARKS” Swim Team and is
unable to fulfill the prerequisite swim requirements, then our
Pre-Swim program is perfect for them. They will be assisted in
learning the ropes in becoming a future
“SHARK.” We will help your
child develop the endurance to swim the recommended distances using
the freestyle and backstroke.
Fee for both swim team and
pre-swim is $50.00 which includes seasonal membership fees to WKSC and
to USA swimming for the season, and registration fees
