The Deer Run Swim Team is dedicated to teaching kids ages 5-18 the sport of swimming. Historically, coaching staff have been lifelong swimmers who serve as coaches and mentors, and express the love of swimming to each child. The focus for young swimmers is to become confident in the water and to build on confidence as the season progresses. Breathing techniques are incorporated, followed by kicking and arm movement in the water. Once confidence is achieved, stroke and turn elements are incorporated, focusing on swimming the length of the pool with assistance. As swimmers advance through each age group, stroke and turn techniques are introduced and perfected. Throughout each season, we incorporate team-building games and good old fashion fun to keep practice fun and upbeat. For the team as a whole, the goals are developing good sportsmanship, developing relationships, team spirit, and achieving personal bests in the pool.
