DOLPHIN STROKE TEAM
The Coast Guard Blue Dolphins Swim Team is a self-sustaining, 501-c3 non-profit organization. The CGBD Board of Directors is responsible for the financial soundness of the Team. It is only through prudent management of our resources, and a clear understanding of the following financial obligations and procedures by each family, that the team will continue to provide a quality program for current and future swimmers.
PROGRAM CONCEPT: The Coast Guard Blue Dolphin Stroke Team is a program to enhance competitive stroke technique through in-depth instruction using our team’s stroke concepts and skill building drills. This program is primarily for swimmers aged 6 to 12 years old and must be evaluated before entering the program. The Stroke Team is designed to introduce swimmers to the competitive swimming environment and to better prepare for summer league participation or USA Swimming participation. The program promotes our organizational values by first fostering a genuine love for the sport of swimming, develop a positive lifestyle which includes physical activity, and improve fitness. We will have two skill groups based on age and skill. Group 1 will be younger swimmers (8 & younger) without skills in breaststroke and butterfly. Group 2 will be older swimmers (8-12 years old) with basic ability in all four competitive strokes). We offer the following sessions and practices:
Learning Objectives:
Develop efficient stroke technique in freestyle, backstroke
Learn an effective breaststroke & butterfly
Learn front & back flip turns
Introduce interval training techniques
Increase swimming endurance
