Grassroots

Youth Otters is an introductory program that continues building on basic swimming skills, such as: rhythmic breathing, gliding, turns & diving/back starts. We focus on building fundamental stroke techniques for all four strokes: Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly. Swimmers also begin to build more aerobic capacity through games and lots of kicking.

What do you need?

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

How many practices per week?

3 x 1 hour

Is there teamwear?

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

How many swim meets can we expect to attend?

1 ‘mock’ meet during practice time each trimester + the UCRO hosted Splash & Grill meet in June.

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.
