About our swim program

                                                           WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

Many families and swimmers join SUNFISH for our reputation of combining technical training, athletic conditioning and competitive development in a fun inclusive environment. We encourage strong technique but we also know kids are motivated by fun and personal incentives so our coaches try to incorporate fun activities as well as pushes each swimmer to beat their personal best times.
​
Many families stay because of the culture summer swimming has brought to their families - the development of friendships for both children and their parents within the Club and across other Clubs, the many social activities we offer, the 3 disciplines we offer (swimming, water polo, synchro). We offer a true Club experience for all our members.  
​
Our competitive season is the summer, May to August. We train with dedication through the week and we test our new skills and improved speed on the weekends at meets. We also hang out with our friends and we are surrounded by many Sunfish families. 
​
In the fall and winter we train one to two hours per week. It's enough to keep us conditioned and still have time to dedicate to other sports or school activities. 

MINIMUM ABILITY
​There is generally no minimum skill, however, we have a development and competitive program to our swim club and higher ability is helpful.  We are a non-profit organization with the ability to hire few coaches and be heavily supported by volunteer coaches. Thus, the assessment is to assess the athlete's fitness and ability to follow and apply coaching instructions within training groups. As volunteer coaches can be sporadic, we do require all new younger swimmers to be able to stay in the pool throughout their session and be able to use a kick board,
​
