DEVELOPMENTAL TEAM
This team’s description is all in the name. Developmental! This is the first stage in a
competitive swimmer’s career. We as Coaches, focus primarily on building the natural
love for swimming, along with developing a strong technical base for each stroke. We
start to instill the character traits of compassion, sportsmanship, dependability,
accountability, humility, and honor, just to name a few. The developmental group will be
engaging in kids cross fit. We are getting them use to the conditioning that they will be
participating in as they move through the teams. We have found if a child truly loves
what they are doing, they do it so much better!
