Fit4Life: Youth – age group, non competitive

Prerequisite: complete the Stingrays’ FUNdamentals Swim School program; complete all 3 Stages. For those who are new to the Stingrays and want to join the Fit4Life program, they must display skills and appropriate knowledge of each stroke (Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Butterfly), ability to work well in group settings, respect the training environment. Our aim is to assist Swimmers to their own Aquatic goals; Swimmers must be prepared to learn competition swim skills and swim more than 1200m within each session.

Created specifically for swimmers who have completed their Stingrays FUNdamentals Swim School education and skills, or equivalent. This group is considered a non competitive group with an eye towards fitness as the focus. Competition is still an option as swimmers will be trained to the rules according to Competitive Swimming.

--> BCSSA members please note: This group also allows for BCSSA members to maintain their Summer Swimmer status with each practice being 1hr water time. BC Summer Swimming mandates any Winter Maintenance programs to be maximum 2hrs of instruction per week, please plan your membership commitment accordingly.
