COMPETITIVE SWIM TEAM Every swimmer who walks onto

the pool deck, regardless of their age, athletic ability, or

competitiveness are welcome to join STOP. Our team is for all

swimmers ranging from those who are learning to swim for the

first time, to the competitive swimmers who desire to compete

at a National level. We have groups for ages between 4 - 18, and

although STOP is a competitive team, we understand that not all

swimmers desire to be competitive. All swimmers are placed into

workout groups based on their age, ability, and competitive level.

Workout groups range from 30 minutes for our younger swimmers

up to 2.5 hours for our older competitive swimmers.

DEVELOPMENTAL "LEARN TO SWIM" PROGRAM Our Developmental

Program is our program specifically designed to meet the needs of our young

swimmers who have the desire to be in the water, but lack the swimming skills.

In this program, swimmers work in small groups with instructors in the water

and do not need to know how to swim to participate. This program has a more

intensive and progressive approach than your traditional swim lessons with

the goal to develop the swimmer's skills so that they are able to participate

at the swim team level by the end of the program.

Practices are generally held Monday - Thursday with occasional Friday

or weekend practices. Although, swimmers are assigned a specific practice time

and group based on ability, swimmers have the flexibility to attend the days they

want to attend. Like the swim team, dues are collected based on a monthly rate

of $90 a month in addition to the required 2009 SCS registration fee of $55.

This program runs May - October.

To enroll your swimmer or for more information, please e-mail Coach Devon. This program is appropriate for ages 4 - 8.

AGE GROUP WATER POLO Our Age Group team is for both

boys and girls, ages 9 - 14, of all ability levels, who are not part of a

high school program. This program is designed to teach the basic

fundamentals and rules of the game as well as develop the athletes

skills to allow them to be an intricate part of their future high

school program.

DUAL SPORT PROGRAM Under this program, athletes may

participate on both the Swim Team and Water Polo programs.
