2011 Blue Dolphin Pups Program
Coach Cassie Craddock noticed how many of the younger siblings of our swimmers come to our early practice and play in the "kiddie" pool while the older swimmers practice. She pointed out that these are potential future Blue Dolphins and suggested that we could run a brief " lesson" program to make certain these little guys and gals were safe in the water and knew some of the basics like putting their faces in the water, blowing bubbles, floating on their backs and stomachs, etc. Coach Cassie has agreed to run this program for us this summer as a new offering for the team.
Pups Program Details
Our plan for this program is to run two week sessions with the classes meeting on Monday and Wednesday nights from 5:15 to 5:45 while the older siblings are practicing. During this time, we will be closing the "kiddie" pool to others.
Enrollees should be between 2 and 4 years old and have an older sibling on the team. Classes will be limited to five (5) swimmers to allow us to keep the groups small and make sure we run a safe program for these little ones. Parents of the swimmers are encouraged to watch so that they can reinforce the lessons between classes and after the session is completed.
Cost will be $30.00 per swimmer per session and you can enroll online using the link at the bottom of the page or at practice.
Session Schedule
Provided we get enough interest, we plan to have three sessions as follows:
- Session 1 - Monday, May 23; Tuesday, May 24; Wednesday, May 25 and Thursday, May 26
- (This session will be conducted over one week due to the Memorial Day Holiday & our first swim meet)
- Session 2 - Monday, June 6; Wednesday, June 8; Monday, June 13 and Wednesday, June 15
- Session 3 - Monday, June 20; Wednesday, June 22; Monday, June 27 and Wednesday, June 29
