Program Overview
Join us for another exciting season of the Overlee Winter Swim Program! Our dedicated coaching staff of current Overlee swim team senior swimmers, are excited to work with your kids each Sunday evening this season. This year, we are not only focusing on improving swimming techniques but also showcasing the enjoyable side of swimming through theme nights, games, and relays. Our season will run from September 15th, 2024, through May 4th, 2025.
Who should sign up for Overlee Winter Swim?
Our program caters to kids aged 5-12 with varying skill levels, from first-time beginners to advanced summer swimmers. To be elligible for registration your child must be at least 5 years old by June 1st, 2025. Children younger than 5 are allowed in the program as long as they turn 5 by the start of June next year. If you have a swimmer who is advanced for their age but will not be 5 years old by next June, please contact the winter swim coordinator, Brian Yost, brian.yost@overlee.org to request an exception.
This season there will be three skill level groups per session.
Beginner Swimmers (20 spots available per session)
For youngsters new to swimming, we have dedicated spots available to ensure personalized attention. Throughout the season, they will be introduced to basic water safety skills like floating, kicking, and gaining confidence in the water. By the end of the program, our beginner swimmers will have the ability to swim legal backstroke and freestyle for a full length of the pool, making them ready for the summer swim team when practices begin in May of 2025. Each session for this group will run for 45 minutes. The cost for this group is $475 per swimmer for the 29 session season.
Intermediate/Advanced Swimmers (48 spots available per session)
If you have a new but capable swimmer looking to enhance their skills during the winter or an experienced swimmer seeking weekly conditioning and technique-focused sessions, the Overlee Winter Swim program is the ideal place for them. These swimmers can expect to see significant improvement across all four strokes by the end of the season. These swimmers at a minumum should be able to swim freestyle one legnth of the pool and tread water for at least 60 seconds without assistance. Each session for this group will run for 45 minutes. The cost for this group is $475 per swimmer for the 29 session season.
Sprint Clinic (14 spots available per session)
This offering is targeted for experienced swimmers who have swam 5 days a week on a summer swim team and or currently swim at least two days a week on a winter club team. Swimmers must be at least 9 years old before June of 2025 to register. This group will be focused on fine tuning swimmer’s starts, flip turns, and finishes to sprint effectively. Each session for this group will run for 50 minutes. The cost for this group is $525 per swimmer for the 29 session season.
