1 TSC Swim Programs Toronto Swim Club believes in the pursuit of excellence through the systematic development of skills, attitudes and training challenges. Swimmers are advanced through the programs once they are physically and emotionally ready to handle the challenge of the next level. Swimmers are required to acquire a set list of skills prior to any move. Every effort is made to ensure that no steps are skipped in the development process to ensure continued and long term success in the sport. The teaching and introduction of skills (and their progressions) are linked between groups so that coaches use the same terminology, similar drills and expectations. The club believes in creating well rounded swimmers who can compete in all four strokes. Kicking development is emphasized from the Academy levels. Instill in our swimmers the importance of a work ethic. Success comes through hard work and dedication. Foster such positive attributes as self-esteem, self-reliance, discipline, confidence, respect and team pride Develop team unity where everyone encourages and takes pride in each other at all levels of competition Instill a lifelong love of swimming through enjoyment and accomplishment

One lap (25 meters) of freestyle (with side breathing) and one lap of backstroke. The coach will observe them to see how well they know these two strokes and see if they can swim the length of the lane without stopping. Silver (Level 2): Skill Improvement (2x60 min per week) This is an advanced beginner level group with a skill requirement of freestyle, backstroke and whip kick. Children who can demonstrate these skills during a tryout practice will be invited to join this group.
