ROBALOS SWIMMING TEAM			5 to 18
Robalos Swimming is for boys and girls ages 5 to 18. Swimmers must be able to swim unaided one length of the pool performing three of the four competitive strokes. Swimmers practice Monday through Thursday. Additional fun family/ swimmer activities will be scheduled. Meets are held Saturday morning beginning in June. For swimmers unable to meet the swimming requirements we have a Junior Robalos program. A Junior Robalo is a swimmer 8 years or younger. In order to qualify for Junior Robalos the swimmer must complete one length of the pool unassisted. Swimmers must be registered for the team and practice with the Junior Robalos. Practice consists of 40 minutes to an hour of workout that combines small group instruction in the bulkhead followed by lap swim in the main pool. In meets Junior Robalos will only swim events in which they have a legal stroke as determined by a head coach. Mentoring Junior Robalos will be one of the role of the teenage swimmers. Each swimmer will be matched up with a big brother or sister who will help make sure they get to their events on meet day. The juniors will be available to be chief cheerleaders and towel holders during the teen swimmer’s events. Other activities will be scheduled to foster this special relationship throughout the summer. Back to Swim Night is an evening to come together, hear about the upcoming season, meet the coaches, order team wear, meet old friends and make new ones. All families and swimmers are encouraged to attend Friday, April 29 at 6:30pm, Canyon View Community Center.
