Junior coaching

Ages 9 and over. Teacher / Pupil Ratio 1 : 8 (may vary slightly)

If you have a budding swimming professional on your hands, our coaching program is the perfect next step in your child’s career. Our instructors are dedicated to optimizing skill development, with a strong focus on technique refinement. We believe in nurturing young swimmers’ potential without pushing them beyond their limits. That’s why we refrain from having children under 10 participate in long-distance events or in full-time endurance training.

Swimming lengthy distances with improper technique can be counterproductive. Fatigue often leads to degraded strokes, hindering progress and limiting true potential. Our approach prioritizes sustainable growth and avoids premature muscle pattern development, reducing the risk of sports-related injuries. By emphasizing quality over quantity, we ensure every swimmer reaches their full potential safely and effectively.

Before transitioning to an endurance program, each child must master all four strokes, as well as starts, turns, and finishes. Our coaches ensure strokes are well-established and reinforced, and swimmers are physically, emotionally, and developmentally prepared for the next step. We approach this transition with caution to prevent premature burnout and maintain enthusiasm for the sport, which can be highly competitive.

Swimming imparts valuable life lessons, teaching commitment, dedication, sportsmanship, patience, and perseverance. It’s a journey of both victory and defeat, shaping character and instilling resilience.
