Once your child has mastered our pro swim levels, they will have the exciting opportunity to join our Goldfish Swim Force swim team! This is a fun, friendly team environment where students continue to work on their swim skills, while building character and confidence along the way. Our in-water coaches train and encourage swimmers between the ages of 5 and 12 to master the four major swim strokes. These sessions are one hour, once a week, with a swim meet once per quarter. The recreational swim team is an opportunity to hone skills further and to get a feel for competitive swimming for those who are interested in moving into youth sports.
While improving swim times is a key goal, the Goldfish Swim Force is equally focused on fostering teamwork, sportsmanship, and personal growth. When a child commits to our swim team they become part of a supportive community where they learn to encourage their teammates, celebrate collective achievements, and develop a strong work ethic. The bonds formed during these extra practices are invaluable, transforming the pool into a place of friendship and mutual support. This emphasis on character, combined with advanced skill development, ensures that our swimmers gain confidence that extends far beyond the pool deck and set them up for long term success in the swim team environment.
For swimmers ready for a greater challenge, our Goldfish Swim Force program offers an intensified training schedule that goes beyond the foundational weekly session. We offer options for dedicated athletes to participate in our swim team environment providing the consistent practice needed to build endurance, speed, and technical precision. This increased frequency allows our in-water coaches to focus more deeply on stroke mechanics, starts, and turns, helping each swimmer shave seconds off their personal bests. It’s the perfect stepping stone for children who have discovered a passion for swimming and are considering a future in competitive youth sports.
