KINGS SWIM ACADEMY
YOUTH YEAR-ROUND SWIM TEAM KSA’s youth swim team is a great way for children to learn the basics of working out with a group of peers. Workouts are focused on enhancing technique and fitness in a supportive atmosphere. Swimmers will work with a KSA swim coach to achieve their personal goals, whether that’s improving technique, building endurance and fitness, preparing for competition, or setting a new personal record. Workouts are 60 minutes in length. Swimmers are eligible to join the workout group if they have progressed through our level system or by demonstrating that they can swim the length of the pool proficiently demonstrating all 4 competitive strokes.
