Narwhals Year-Round (Foundations)
The Narwhals Year-Round Swim Program is ideal for young swimmers who are ready to grow in the sport but may not be prepared for the time and travel commitment of a full year-round competitive swim team. This program provides a structured, skill-focused environment where swimmers can continue to develop their technique and build confidence in the water.
Participants will receive instruction in all four competitive strokes—freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly—as well as starts, turns, and race fundamentals. Occasional scrimmage meets throughout the year offer swimmers the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in a low-pressure, supportive setting.
This program is an excellent stepping stone for swimmers interested in joining our summer league team, offering both preparation and continued growth during the off-season.
Registration opens August 1st for members, and August 8th for non-members.
