Tiger Sharks Swimming

This group emphasizes execution of all competitive strokes for longer duration and different intensities, which is a requirement for progressing into the Junior team level.

Prerequisites: Swimmers must use the proper stroke technique for all four competitive strokes to qualify and legal execution of turns and starts/dives to qualify for this level.

Practice/Meets: Tiger Sharks practice Monday through Friday for about two hours each time. Practice duration is 1½ hours in the water with dry-land exercises prior to getting into the water. Practice is at both Foothill College and Eagle Park pools. Overall practice duration is about two hours each day, depending on coach recommendation. LAMVAC recommends at least four practices per week. Coaches encourage Tiger Sharks to participate in swim meets.
