All About Pre-Team
PRE-TEAM is part of the swim team for those that are working up to swimming 25 meters across the pool and learning strokes. Pre-team swimmers must be comfortable with their face in the water and be able to swim one half a length of the pool in any form without stopping or touching the bottom. The first week or two of pre-team will focus on assessing each child's level to determine if pre-team is the correct fit for them.
Members of the Pre-Team will practice either at morning or evening practice. Preteamers are part of the team! They are encouraged to attend all social events and come cheer the team on at meets.
All decisions on Team / Pre-Team eligibility rest solely with the coaching staff. Little Thunder Lessons may be recommended if your child is not ready for pre-team.
Pre-Team swimmers may join the team at any time during the season once they can swim 25 meters with their face in the water. Swimmers may compete in B meets once they can legally swim 25 meters of the stroke in one minute or less otherwise they are eligible to take part in the Kick Board race.
New in 2026- ALL Preteamers are eligible to participate in the Manchester Farm mini meet on July 12th. The cost is included in your registration fee.
