Q: What if my child swims competitively, is there a program for him/her?

Yes, we also have a team called the Akrug Alligators.  We focus on improving technique and conditioning.  We compete about 4 times between September and March.  We limited space so the earlier you register, the better.

Q: In the Learn to Swim Program, will my child be in a large group?

We strive for a ratio of 3-4 swimmers to 1 instructor, which we’ve found to be a good ratio.
