The Beginner Group welcomes swimmers 6 years and older who have recently graduated from a “Learn to Swim” program and are now wishing to improve their technique in all four strokes and become either competitive or recreational swimmers. Pirates offers six 60-minute practice sessions each week. We encourage our Beginner swimmers to compete in local competitions and as they progress, to enter regional competitions.

In order to swim at the Intermediate level, each swimmer must achieve an USA Swimming Motivational ‘A’ time in a minimum of two events in his/her respective age group.
