The Glenwood Tigers Pre-Team is designed to prepare young swimmers to join the swim team. It is taught as a group lesson.

In addition to improving water skills, another goal of the Pre-Team is to introduce young swimmers to some of the other aspects of the swim team: teamwork, sportsmanship, spirit, and most importantly, fun.  It is important to note that Pre-Teamers are considered by the coaching staff to be an important part of the Glenwood Tigers Swim Team… they are they future!

If and when a swimmer is ready to move up to the swim team, the Pre-Team Coaches will inform the Swim Team Head Coaches and the necessary arrangements will be made.

Pre-Team Schedule
June 2 - June 16 (Monday - Friday only): 6:30 - 7:00 PM
June 17 - end of season:
     11:00 - 11:30 (Monday - Friday only)
     6:30 - 7:00 (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday only)

All new swimmers must be screened for placement on the Team or the Pre-Team. Screenings will be held during Swim Team Registration on Tues., June 1, Wed., June 2 and Thur., June 3 at 7:00 PM, or by appt. with the Head Coach.

NOTE:  Pre-Team Practice will be held at the same time as 8 & Under Swim Team practice. The goal is to further bridge the gap between Pre-Team and Swim Team, so that when swimmers are ready to move up, the transition will be easier.

Cost
Payment (checks only) is $85 per child per season, payable to "Glenwood Swim Team".  Upon promotion to the Swim Team, no additional registration fee or dues will be required.

Pre-Teamers are encouraged to attend all team activities, including meets, pep-rallies and other social events.  Such events will be announced beforehand and are always posted on the Swim Team bulletin board.  Towards the end of the season Pre-Teamers will be invited to participate in a special pre-team swim in one of our Wednesday meets.

Questions concerning Pre-Team protocol and logistics for the Pre-Team Coaches (or Swim Team Head Coach Jeremy Butler) should be placed in the Coaches' Mailbox.
