Channel Kittens

The Channel Kittens program is the perfect introduction to competitive swimming for our youngest athletes. Practices run twice a week:

• Group A: Mondays & Wednesdays, 4:30–5:00 pm

• Group B: Tuesdays & Thursdays, 4:30–5:00 pm

In this group, swimmers are introduced to all four competitive strokes, along with proper streamlining, diving, and flip turns. The emphasis is always on fun and technique—not speed or competition. Our philosophy is simple: swimmers should first learn how to perform each stroke correctly before moving into a competitive environment.

The Kittens program runs in three 10-week sessions throughout the year, providing just the right amount of structure for young swimmers to gain confidence and skills in a supportive, non-threatening environment.

• Fall Session: October – December

• Winter Session: January – March

• Spring Session: April – June

This group is non-competitive, giving children the chance to fall in love with the sport while building a strong foundation for future swimming success.
