The Vashon Aquatic Club offers many different levels of coaching:
Intro / Pre-competitive (5 & Over):
This program is currently on hold.
Offers half hour practice sessions for our young swimmers as an introduction to the exciting world of swimming. The emphasis is on fun, balance and breathing as well developing an understanding of all four competitive strokes.
Levels 1 & 2 Stroke School (6-10yrs):
Focus on core skill development, stroke technique and basic endurance skills. The emphasis is still on fun, balance and breathing as well developing an understanding of relays, the clock, interval training, drills and sets.
Levels 3, 4 & 5 (10-18 yrs)
Continues the emphasis on core skill development and stroke technique, as well as building stamina and endurance and speed. Coaches develop a session plan that tapers training for specific events throughout the season, allowing the swimmers to peak for the meets.
Summer Adult Masters
A coach run workout with the emphasis on core skill development and stroke technique, as well as building endurance and speed. Swimmers can compete should they choose.
Once the coach has approved and placed the swimmer in the appropriate group, parents need to fill out a registration form for that session. All forms can be picked up from the Park Distric office or downloaded from our forms page.
New swimmers will need to tryout and be placed by a coach before registration. Click here for current tryout dates and rates
