Our 2012 Minnows season is right around the corner.   This popular program is for children ages 5 – 8 who LOVE to swim, but who are not yet ready to swim competitively.    (Please note: this is NOT a learn to swim program; swim lessons will be offered at our Spring Clinic in April.   Minnows is appropriate for children who are able to swim without help and have mastered at least one stroke, usually freestyle.  It is also not appropriate for swimmers who have already spent a season with the Marlins swim team – it is a pre-team experience.)   Instruction takes place in small groups and focuses on learning the strokes and building up endurance.

The program will run on Tuesday and Thursday nights this year, in two sessions: 5:30- 6:15, and 6:15 – 7 PM, both at the Middle School, starting on February 7 and running through April 19.    Note that our spring clinic will begin the following week; swimmers who wish to continue swimming through Memorial Day will have the opportunity to sign up for additional lessons or team training in our Spring Clinic.

Sign up for Minnows is in-person only; swimmers should come prepared to get in the water and be evaluated.   Registration will take place on Tuesday, January 31, from 5:30 – 7 PM at the Middle School pool.  Bring a copy of the registration form with you.
