GMCF’s KidSWIM Club is a great non-competitive program to help your young swimmer gear up for a swim team, or just to make them the strongest swimmers they can be. KidSWIMmers will gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to apply what they have learned in swim lessons in a more formal setting. They will learn persistence, self-discipline, and how to be a team player – all while having fun swimming with their friends!
Swimmers will learn all four competitive strokes, turns, and dives.
KidSWIM is perfect for developing swimmers ages 12 & under, and was developed in partnership with the Central Vermont Swim Club. KidSWIM is also a great feeder program for their Icebreakers competitive swim team.
