Pre-Swim Club
Get your skills in shape with our Pre-Swim club! Kids ages 6-10 who love to swim and want to have fun can join our program devoted to developing strong values, building self-esteem, and enabling swimmers to meet their full potential. We’ll get your child on the right track to being a seriously confident and skilled swimmer!
Start Your Swimming Journey The Right Way!
Need a little something extra to bridge the gap between swim lessons and Karishim Swim Club?
Designed especially for budding swimmers eager to join a swim team, our Pre-Swim Club is the perfect splash into the basics of competitive swimming without the actual competition. Focused on honing the proper techniques for all four strokes—butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle—we ensure every swimmer masters the essentials, from circle swimming to using a pace clock as well as understanding the basics of team etiquette.
About The Program
Pre-Swim Club is skill-based rather than age-based, meaning participants must be able to complete a 50 (down and back lap) of both freestyle and backstroke. The program is tailored to be flexible, adapting to the pace of each swimmer’s growth. As soon as your little swimmer shows readiness for the swim team, we’ll be the first to cheer them on to the next level! While competitions are saved for later stages, the focus of pre-swim is on to build a solid foundation and a love for the sport.
Ready to make a splash? Tryouts are your first step into our warm and welcoming community.
