WE ARE NO LONGER OFFERING THE BUMBLEBEE SWIMMING PROGRAM
We have a new program to replace the Bumblebee program that we feel will help with the continuity of our swim program and help better prepare your kids for swim team. Our new program is called the Junior Swim Team and it will be lead by Barbara Vaughan and Frances Deering. Barbara and Frances are both certified WSI’s (Water Safety Instructors) and between the two of them, they have over 35 years of experience teaching swim lessons.
The first session of Junior Swim Team is going to be offered at the same time as our pre-season clinics for the existing swim team. There will be 8 sessions starting on Sunday, April 18th. The sessions will be on the following Saturdays and Sundays 4/24, 4/25, 5/1, 5/2, 5/8, 5/9 and ending on Saturday, May 15th. They will teach 10 kids during a 45 minute session from 2:30-3:15 and then an additional 10 kids from 3:15-4:00. This first session of Junior Swim Team will be held at the pool at Greensboro College (old YMCA) on the corner of Market St. and Tate St.
Now, how do you know if your child is ready for the Junior Swim Team? First of all, this is a stepping stone to swim team, so you would not do this program if your intent was not for your child to join swim team. Click here to see "Swim Levels", a document to help you discover various WSI levels that help you figure out where your child is currently and where he/she needs to be to join swim team. Your child needs to be at a level 3 for swim team.
You can register for the Junior Swim Team program at Jive @ the Hive, which is our registration day. This will be Saturday, April 17th from 3-5pm at the clubhouse (drop-in anytime). The cost for Junior Swim Team is $75.00 for the eight 45 minute sessions. If your child is then placed on the swim team, you will receive a 50% reduction in dues. Either Barbara or Frances will be at Jive @ the Hive to answer your questions. Please feel free to contact Barbara via email at bartisvaughan@earthlink.net or Frances at deerinf@gcsnc.com.
