To register for Pre-Team, please click the link above. It will take you to the Hurricanes' calendar and list of events. Please click "register online" next to Pre-Team Registration and follow the steps. If it states registration for Pre-Team is full, please email [email protected] with the names and ages of the children you would like to enroll in Pre-Team, as well as their swimming ability, We will fill empty spaces as they become available on the waitlist in the order your email was received.
**It is important to register prior to the evaluations, as spaces fill up quickly. If you wait until after evaluations to register, we cannot guarantee a spot for your child. Once registration is filled, we will begin a waitlist. Waitlisted swimmers should still plan to come to the evaluation in case a spot on pre-team opens up.
Interested swimmers will be evaluated by the coaches during a mandatory swimming skill assessment at the Clover Hill Pool Thursday May 30th from 4:30-5:30pm to determine appropriateness of participation. Swimmers who participated in Pre-Team previous years do not need to attend this skill assessment. This is a first-come first-serve assessment and the assessment should take about 5-10 minutes. If you cannot attend this assessment, a make-up date will be offered 3-4pm on Sunday June 2nd.
The Clover Hill Pre-Team program is led by the Hurricane's head coach Jackie Greeves. Pre-Team is designed for future swim team members who require a little extra attention before they are ready to join a competitive swim team. Swimmers who pre-register by a designated date will be added to the competitive team's roster so they may participate in a Hurricane meet if they find they are ready.
Pre-Team is not a replacement for swimming lessons; it serves as a transition from basic instructional classes to preparation for competitive swimming. **Our new pre-team development may serve as beginning level instruction for our youngest swimmers that meet the criteria below (must be comfortable putting their face in the water and demonstrate general confidence in the water). Pre-Team will introduce swimmers to beginning training and racing skills, build endurance, and help develop interest in this great sport in a supportive environment. It will also encourage awareness of the swim meet setting, teach swim team terminology (ex: lanes, starts), and improve stroke techniques. Coach Jackie will be assisted by several other coaches and there will be plenty of hands-on, in-the-water instruction.
Who should consider joining the Pre-Team?
- Swimmers ages 4 to 9 years old
- Children with previous swim instruction experience
- Swimmers who demonstrate general confidence in the water
- Children who can, at a minimum, doggie-paddle for a few yards independently and feel comfortable laying on their backs
The major goal of this program is to prepare children for the excitement of competitive swimming in a recreational summer league. Pre-Team members are welcome to participate in the regular team's activities such as pep rallies and pizza parties. We hope they will also want to watch the summer meets and cheer on the swimmers for Clover Hill's team: the Hurricanes! Most of all, we hope Pre-Team will develop a life-long love of swimming.
Summer Schedule: One 5-week session beginning June 17th, 2024.
Dates: Mondays through Thursdays, Pre-Team: 11:00-11:30am, Pre-Team Development: 11:30-11:55am
**Swimmers are not required to be Clover Hill Civic Association members, but non-CHCA members will be charged an additional $20 at time of registration. No refunds will be given after the first session.
