About Swim Academy:

Time Trials

Swimmers put their new skills to the test without the stress of competition during our optional Time Trials. All Time Trials take place at the YMCA Program Center in Simpsonville, and are held near the end of the session. 

Swim Academy Levels

Beginner (Bronze): The optimal level for those just diving into the competitive swimming world!  Workouts will focus on the basic skills for each stroke. Must be able to swim at least 25 yards freestyle with face in the water without stopping, and must know all four strokes. 

Intermediate (Silver): Focus will be on perfecting stroke technique and introducing racing starts and turns. Must be able to swim 50 freestyle without stopping and with bilateral breathing and demonstrate proficiency in three of the four strokes to a competitive level.

Advanced (Gold): The optimal level for those wishing to swim in a competitive setting. Training will focus on stroke refinement and practicing racing starts and turns while building endurance for longer distances. Must be able to swim 100 yards without stopping and with bilateral breathing and demonstrate proficiency in all of the four strokes to a competitive level.
