Our Pre-Novice program is for athletes ages 5+ who want to build comfortability in the water and learn synchronized swimming fundamentals, but are not ready to commit to the full team yet. Athletes practice 1 hour on Saturdays for 8 weeks in a small group setting. At the conclusion of 8-weeks, athletes will be tested on skills and receive a recommendation to advance to the novice team or to complete another 8-week session. Tuition is $250 per 8 week session and requires purchase of a USAAS membership ($56).
Note: Athletes must be able to swim one full lap unassisted and be comfortable swimming in deep water. While we do work on swim technique and strokes as part of artistic swimming, we are not a learn-to-swim program.
