This program is designed for the swimmer who is looking for an introduction to competitive swimming without the full commitment of the Steiner Stars Red or Steiner Stars Blue team.
It is NOT SWIM LESSONS. Shooting Stars focuses on the development of competitive swimming skills with emphasis on proper stroke technique in freestyle and backstroke. The coaches will teach breaststroke and butterfly when individual swimmers are ready for that challenge. At the end of the 4-week session, swimmers will be able to measure their improvement at an intra-squad swim meet. Prior swim experience is necessary to enroll in this program.
Equipment needed for the program:
Competitive style swim suit-jammer suit for boys, one piece suit for girls.
Fins-can be bought at Lane 4. Fins with straps around the ankle are not appropriate and will rub blisters on swimmers. No specific brand is required but swimmers need fins that fit snugly around the foot.
Goggles are optional and depends on what your child prefers. Goggles can be bought at Lane 4 as well, but you can also find proper fitting goggles at other places like Academy. Swim masks and snorkels should not be brought to practice.
Swim caps are optional as well. For swimmers with longer hair, swim caps are recommended unless hair is securely fastened.
We provide kickboards and all other equipment needed for practices.
The Shooting Stars program has reached full capacity for Summer 2010 and we are no longer accepting registrations for the waitlist.
