Swimmer Groups:
Novice (10 and under): This group is KWSC's first group for our new
swimmers. Swimmers will have tons of FUN while learning to swim, start, and turn
correctly before moving on to the next group.
Juniors (age 8 to 13): This group will continue to work on perfecting stroke
mechanics. Rules of swimming, and stroke perfection will be a big focus of this
group. Dry-land training will also be introduced in this group.
Seniors (12 and over): This group is for advanced swimmers. Aerobic
training, physical training, stroke mechanics, dry-land training and race
preparation will be the focus of this group. This group is structured to allow each
athlete to reach their full potential.
Note: ages are approximate depending on ability except for masters.

The swimmer will be placed in the appropriate group and paper work will

visit the contact us page. We would love to talk to you.
