601 [PGBSC] Changes to Junior Senior Development program

Hi everyone,

 

Currently, the club has a program called the Junior/Senior Development group.  This program is designed for older kids who are new to the sport of swimming, as well as, for the swimmer who wishes to continue in the sport of swimming, but at a reduced schedule.  The Executive has decided to give the group a new name and description to better reflect the purpose of the program.  Below are the new names and descriptions of the group.  If you have any questions, please email Mike Moran at president@pgbsc.org

 

Fitness Program

 

The Fitness Program is centred on the goal of having an active lifestyle through the sport of swimming.  The goals of this program are continued stroke improvement, fitness, health, all for personal satisfaction.

This program is geared towards swimmers who were previously trained in the D1, Elite or Y/N programs.  Movement into this group is recommended by the coaching team following discussion with the swimmer and his/her parents.  The decision to guide swimmers towards this group, may be based on one or more factors, which may include the child’s ability to perform the required tasks, the time commitment that is feasible, and/or the child’s interest in training at a lower intensity so that participating in other sports or extracurricular activities is possible.

Individuals in this group, may compete provided meet entry standards are met.
