Windsor
Aquatic Club is pleased to introduce you to the
training format for the 2008-2009 swim season. Windsor
Aquatic
Club is a renowned competitive swim club and we have highly trained
and
experienced competitive coaches. We do not provide “learn to
swim” classes, as there are other programs in the
city/county that provide swimming lessons. WAC provides competitive
swimming training for
children ages 5 years and up who want to swim like the athletes
going to
Beijing for the 2008 Olympics! We have designed a schedule that
most families will find flexible
and convenient, especially if they have more than one swimmer in
the family.
What’s
the right level for you?
A
free single swim evaluation by our coaching staff will ensure that
the swimmer is placed in the appropriate level.
• Your child must be 5 years of age or older
• Be able to swim one length of the pool 25m without assistance (no time
limit) and
• Be able to swim two lengths of the pool (50m) using a flutter board (no
time limit)
For
additional information regarding our swim programs or other general
club inquiries, please call 519-971-7479. |
