swim course

Most parents and athletes (adults too!) are nervous about the swim. That's perfectly normal. To participate, every child should be a confident, competent, and comfortable swimmer in the environment they will be racing. When swimming in a pool, athletes may take breaks by stopping on the side of the pool or holding the dividers, if necessary. they are not allowed to have any outside assistance. Buoyancy devices are not permitted in pool swims. They may also rest by holding onto the side of the pool or lane divider.
