JUNIOR TEAM
If you’re looking for a fun, athletic activity with low time commitment, the Junior Swim Team might be the right program for your Swimmer! The Junior Team is a 10-week program for kids aged 9 to 14.
On the Junior Swim Team Swimmers receive coaching and instruction from the SCST coaching staff. The Jr Team program is a unique opportunity to get top-notch instruction on all four competitive strokes as well as getting a chance to be a member of a team.
The Junior Swim Team is a great option for those who want to continue the fun of summer league swimming during the school year, or build on skills learned in other swimming programs. Swimmers may use the Junior Swim Team as a stepping stone to the St. Charles Swim Team. We accept swimmers ages 9 to 14 that can swim one length (25 yards) of Freestyle and Backstroke, knowledge of breastroke and butterfly and have the ability to dive into deep water.
What goes on during the session and classes?
During the ten-week session, your swimmer will have two classes per week. Classes are 45 minutes long, and include a few minutes of stretching and warming up before strokes and drills are taught. St. Charles Swimming strives to provide a low coach-to-swimmer ratio for the Junior Swim Team! This ensures your swimmer will receive the attention he/she needs in order to be successful.
Junior Swim Team is a technique-based program. We will work with your swimmer on all four competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly). Your swimmer will also be introduced to racing skills such as dives, turns, and streamlines. Swimmers will leave each class feeling like they got a good workout.
