Development Stream

This program creates a team-oriented environment with a relaxed approach and schedule. It focuses on skill improvement in a fun, positive environment. Swimmers keep developing their swimming skills, focusing on freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. Turns, dives and butterfly development will be introduced for those who would like to also work on these skills.

Each trimester, the House League swimmers will be given the opportunity to participate in a mock meet (during practice time) and participate in unofficial time trials - for those who still need to “scratch that competitive itch”!

What do you need?

Swim cap and goggles (scuba masks are not appropriate). Fins are optional.

How many practices per week?

2 x 1 hour

Is there teamwear?

Each swimmer gets 1 free UCRO swim cap and sponsor T-shirt at the start of the season.

Can I swim with both UCRO and my high school team as a pre/non Competitive athlete?

Yes! This program also helps high school swimmers aiming to improve for school championships like EOSSA (Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletics) and OFSAA (Ontario Federation of Secondary School Athletics) meets. And does not change their classification because they will not compete in swim meets for UCRO.

There is NO fundraising or volunteering commitment for pre-competitive members, but we encourage everyone to get involved with club activities & events as these are also great social occasions.
