Our Precompetitive Levels
Swimmers are placed in Mini Marlins or Mighty Marlins by our coaching team based on their tryout assessment, current skills and readiness.
Mini Marlins
1 Practice Per Week
Mini Marlins is the entry level of our precompetitive program. Swimmers begin developing the skills, strokes and routines that form the foundation for participation on a swim team.
With one practice each week, swimmers build confidence in the water, develop their technique and become familiar with the Marlins team environment.
Mighty Marlins
2 Practices Per Week
Mighty Marlins is our higher-level precompetitive program. Swimmers continue developing their technique, endurance and understanding of competitive swimming.
With two practices each week, swimmers receive additional pool time to strengthen their skills and prepare for future progression into the Marlins competitive program.
