On the Junior Swim Team Swimmers receive coaching and instruction from the SCST coaching staff. The JST 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.
Junior Swim Team Swimmers
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. Swimmers also must be able to kick one length (25 yards) of Breastroke kick.
What goes on during the session and classes?
During the ten-week session, your swimmer will have two classes per week. Classes are 60 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.
HIGH SCHOOL TRAINING GROUP
The High School Training Group is focused on meeting the needs of athletes coming from other sports, high school swimmers or swimmers currently in the St. Charles Swim Team who are still working on skills in competitive swimming. Technique is the primary focus along with endurance.
