Pre Team is a non-competitive group within Donner Swim Club that offers a streamlined season plan and group structure to prepare athletes ages 6-12 to join a competitive group of DSC.  This group will focus on the fundamentals of body position in the water on their front and back, blowing bubbles properly, rotation on front and back, streamlines, and flutter kicking on front and back.  Further, we will focus on the four competitive strokes and their proper technique to ensure a smooth transition into one of our competition groups. 

The Pre Team Group will have a lead group coach on deck directing the group as a whole.  There will also be in-water instructors to help assist the swimmers with any technique and changes that need to be made.  This group will be limited to 24 athletes to provide an environment that is more conducive to athletes needing to progress in a timely manner.  

Your child must be comfortable and willing to get in the water (at any depth).  Your child must be able to complete a 25-yard swim (any stroke) without stopping or assistance.  Lastly, your child must be motivated to join the competitive side of Donner Swim Club.
