Program Overview

The Little Stinger program will expose young children to the fun and team work involved in being part of a large swim team. The program is open to any child between the ages of 3 and 6, but is especially designed for children who are apprehensive about the water and the demands of the swim team or who cannot swim the length of the pool (25 yards) without stopping or holding onto the lane ropes.

The Little Stinger program is not for children who have not been exposed to the water. The child must be safe in the water and therefore must have some comfort in the water. This program is not 1 on 1 swim lesson. Normally we have 2 coaches per 4 to 6 Little Stingers. Our practices for the Little Stingers are in the shallow end of the pool.

The goal of the Little Stingers is to get them ready for the Swim Team the following year. Participation in this program allows you to register next season as a returning swimmer.

We will have one swim meet near the end of the season for our Little Stingers to participate in. The Little Stingers will practice daily and will receive trophies at our awards dinner at the end of the season.
