Skills

Skills is the first squad where we learn to race competitively for the swimmers aged 8-11 years. 

We introduce the swimmers into the world of racing in a fun and nurturing environment. We spend a great deal of time on all strokes including the fifth; kick. Along with racing, starts and turns, these are all coached to a competitive standard, rivaling that of the largest clubs in the country. 

Quarterly mock races help measure progress, steady any nerves and identify areas of improvement.

Aims

• To be technically established in all four strokes with competitive dives and turns. 
• To have developed a core strong leg kick. 
• To have completed a transition phase developing endurance and stamina. 
• To have competed in all competitions requested by their head coach. 
• To feel confident and happy within Louth Swimming Club and feel part of the team.
