The LTC: Intro group is for swimmers who are interested in learning competitive swimming skills but who may not be interested in joining swim club. Swimmers must be able to swim 25m on their front, 25m on their back and be comfortable in deep water (completed Red Cross Level 5 or equivalent skills). This group swims 1 time per week 15 minutes of dryland/activation and 45 minutes of swimming. Swimmers in this group are invited to attend 1-2 Fun Meets per session. Fun meets occur at specific points in the season and gather together the entire club for some in-house racing at Sungod Recreation Centre. Times are tracked, awards are given out and there is a post-meet snack/gathering after each event.
The focus of this group is the teaching of sound swimming techniques, and fun through swimming and swim club. Group sizes are quite small in order to maximize the time spent with each athlete (1 coach to 8 athletes).
All swimmers are accepted to this group at the discretion of the Director of Swimming.
