Summer Training : Pre-Comp Swim School

PTBO Swim Club’s Summer Swim School is a fun, positive, skills-based introduction to competitive swimming for children ages 7 to 10 who can swim 25m independently.

Designed for swimmers who are comfortable in the pool, this 4 week program includes two 1 hour classes per week. Our Summer Swim School is guided by our head coach, Pre-Competitive coach and coaches with an extensive competitive swimming background. Swimmers will build confidence, efficiency, and a love for swimming while developing and refining technique in all four competitive strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.

Instruction also introduces streamlines, underwater dolphin kicks, dives from the starting block, flip turns, open turns. Coaches emphasize proper body awareness and position, kicking, breathing, balance, and consistent practice habits in a structured, encouraging environment.

Swim School is an excellent pathway for swimmers interested in progressing to PTBO’s competitive programs, while also supporting those who simply want to improve their skills, water confidence, fitness, and enjoyment of swimming.

Summer Training : Swimming Development Program

The Swimming Development Program is designed for youth aged 11 to 14 who are new to swimming or want to strengthen their fundamental water skills. In a supportive, inclusive, and judgment-free environment, swimmers are grouped by age and ability and guided by our coaches who meet each participant where they are.

The program focuses on building confidence, comfort, and independence in the water while helping swimmers work toward personal goals. Participants will develop essential skills including water acclimation, floats, glides, breath control, front and back kicking, safe movement in the water, and an introductory approach to front (freestyle) and back(backstroke) swim. Water safety is reinforced throughout the program. Swimmers will progress through three key stages: Water Acclimation, Body Awareness, and Stroke Development. Swimmers leave with stronger skills, greater confidence, and a positive connection to swimming.

Summer Training : Introduction to Para Swimming

PTBO Swim Club’s Introduction to Para Swimming is a supportive program for children ages 6-14 with an eligible physical, visual, or intellectual impairment.

Designed for swimmers who are new to the water or ready to build on existing skills, the program meets each child at their current comfort and ability level. Participants will develop fundamental swimming and water safety skills, including water comfort, submerging, breath control, floating on the front and back, rolling, body control, basic propulsion, kicking, arm movements, balance, and early coordinated swimming skills.

Sessions are adapted to each swimmer’s unique needs, helping children gain confidence, independence, and enjoyment in the water. Para swimming is the sport term for swimmers with eligible impairments, and this introductory program gives families a welcoming place to learn, ask questions, and explore future swimming opportunities in an inclusive, athlete-focused club environment.

No previous competitive swimming experience is required to participate.
