This month Mountain Club resumed its Group C Program for inexperienced swimmers who just finished individual swim lessons.

The Group C Program mainly serves swimmers who can swim 25 yards (across the pool) with devices (such as, fins and kickboards):

• Swim forward with face in the water 
• Swim backward  

If you are not sure about the necessary swimming skills for the program, contact us.

Through the Group C Program, our swimmers will be able to lap swim freestyle and backstroke independently without swim devices (fins and kickboard). The freestyle and backstroke are two essential lifesaving skills for our children. Hopefully, all kids can perform these skills freely.

The practice time for this program is 6:30-7 p.m. during weekdays (but Wednesdays).

The cost for this program is $65 monthly plus: 

• USA Swimming (USAS) annual online registration ($30) for insurance
• Our annual club fee ($60) for administration cost.

After swimmers finish the Group C Program, Mountain Club offers the Group B Program to our swimmers to learn breaststroke, butterfly, individual medley, and flip turns, and to explore the basic swim competition rules.

After swimmers finish the Group B Program, Mountain Club offers the Group A Program to our swimmers to learn more advanced swim skills, and to compete in higher level swimming meets.
