Practice schedule beginning August 25, 2010.
Stroke Team
Clovis Swim Club offers two levels of Stroke Team: Seahorse and Stingray.
Seahorse is a group for the novice swimmer. The first two strokes, freestyle and backstroke, are the focus of this group. Athletes work on proper stroke technique as well as starts and turns appropriate for these strokes. Athletes are also introduced to breaststroke and butterfly minimally. After the athlete has mastered freestyle and backstroke they progress to the Stingray level.
Stingray is a level that continues stroke technique in freestyle and backstroke, but focuses on the final two competitive strokes of breaststroke and butterfly. Athletes focus on proper stroke technique, appropriate turns and race starts for these competitive strokes. The final step is to introduce athletes to the Individual Medley (IM); a race in which all four competitive strokes are utilized in a specific order of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke then freestyle.
Move Up Criteria: 300 yards (12 laps) freestyle in under 8 minutes and 30 seconds and a 200 IM (8 laps: two of each stroke in medley order).
