TriDistrict Community Education

Coached by the Two Rivers and South Saint Paul Head Swim Coaches

This middle school program is for any athlete in 5th-8th grade who is interested in experiencing a taste of high school competitive swimming and is eager to improve their skills. With a focus on teamwork, discipline, and personal growth, swimmers of all levels come together to practice various strokes, techniques, and race strategies. Whether you're relatively new to the sport or have experience on a club team, the team encourages everyone to push themselves while having fun. Coaches provide guidance and motivation, creating an environment where each swimmer can develop confidence, set personal goals, and celebrate achievements in friendly competitions. This program is also a great way to cross-train to prepare for spring sports! The program will run for six weeks and include a potential home and away meet. No practice over Spring Break!

• Jammer-style swimsuits for boys and one-piece swimsuits for girls are highly recommended. Additionally, all athletes will need a pair of swim goggles (low-profile, not covering the nose, are recommended). Swim caps are also suggested, especially for any athlete with longer hair.

Prerequisites: Athletes must not have been on the high school swim or dive teams. They must also be able to swim 25 yards (one length of the pool) in freestyle. This is a great next step for those looking to continue in the sport after swimming lessons.
