This is a special lesson program for children ages 5-8 who, at the beginning of the summer swim season, can already swim ½ length of the pool of freestyle and float on their backs. Minnows swimmers can participate in 8 and under mini meets offered in this program (approximately 2 per season). In addition, the Minnows coach may select swimmers on a weekly basis to participate in the Wednesday evening “B” meets. If children do not meet the Minnows criteria, lessons will be recommended.
