DEVELOPMENTAL TEAM

The developmental team's purpose is to prepare children ages 5 and up for a competitive environment.  Three practices are offered three times a week; we request the attendance of at least two.  Practices hone stroke technique and instill skills such as pace-clock reading and knowledge of swimming terminology.  Participants should expect a structured workout that incorporates kicking, stroke drills, and sets designed to increase the athlete's endurance.  Swimmers are assigned the appropriate group based on their swim lesson instructor's recommendation, or by tryout.  Please contact the aquatics department (718-642-2720) before registering for the Developmental Team.
