The Junior Racers is where the foundation is laid!  Swimmers learn the basics and progress to harder levels and material.  This is the level that should never be skipped by anyone!  The catalyst of the Jr Racers program is the training environment.  In order to give swimmers the opportunity to practice their skills in a low-pressure atmosphere, the Maine West facility is the best.   Junior Racer swimmers practice in a 5-lane 25 yards pool that has a maximum depth of 4 feet.  The water is always kept at 83* in this pool as well.  This makes for the optimum of training conditions anywhere!  

Time is also spent in the competition pool so swimmers can become accustomed to depth and diving/racing starts.   To "graduate" from the Junior Racers program,  swimmers should have the ability to swim all four competitive strokes legally for the length of 50 yards, or a complete race at thier age level.  (Swimmers 12&Over should be able to complete 100yds)
