Gutter Guppies - Swim Team Prep
Gutter Guppies is a swim team prep swim program for our youngest Wahoos (4-6 year olds) who need further instruction in order to join Swim Team. Swimmers will progress through the program as written and directed by our Program Director, Taylor Brown.
Our goal with Gutter Guppies is to help build the skills and confidence of our youngest Wahoos so that they are able to move onto the Swim Team with ease, excitement, and proper technique. We want them to be successful, happy Swim Team members! Generally speaking, a strong candidate for our Gutter Guppy program:
- Is swim confident (this is not a program for fearful swimmers);
- Has had some swim experience and is okay in the water without a floatie with supervision (i.e. can kick themselves back to the wall);
- Is ready and excited to be in the water!
Details
- Lessons will be semi-private with a goal of approximately 4 guppies per group (2) of instructors (4:2).
- Lessons will be 30 minutes.
- Swimmers will attend 4x/week, Monday-Thursday. No lessons on Fridays.
- Lessons will be held in 30 minute blocks between 11:30AM - 1PM pm (e.g. 11:30 - Noon). You will be assigned to a time slot based on instructor availability after registration has closed.
- No refunds will be issued for missed lessons; additionally, session costs will not be prorated for missed lessons.
- A Gutter Guppy swim meet will be held at the end of the season (tentatively July 23rd, 2026) and we encourage all guppies to participate!
