The Junior Team consists of Swimmers who have the skills necessary to complete a workout with their peers. The emphasis in this group is on technique, building endurance, and racing. Practice is offered 4 times a week.  Practice is not mandatory just encouraged.  Swimmers on the Junior team will compete in swim meets in events deemed appropriate by the coaching staff.  We offer the Junior team in both of our locations, Garden City and Syosset.

PASSION , DESIRE , PAIN , FEAR , HARD WORK, SUCCESS……… So many different words we can use to define the feelings Junior Swimmers have experienced during their successful short course season. Since September they have dedicated many hours mastering their walls,  technique, and underwater kicking. On March 22nd at their Championship meet this hard work paid off. Junior swimmers love to race and are super competitive with each other. This led to a meet full of best times!

On April 4th we surprised the group with a delicious, sweet, and savoury breakfast after practice. Cookies and cupcakes were mixed with lots of medals and big smiles on all the swimmers faces.

Long course season is in full bloom and we can’t wait to see how fast and competitive all of Junior will be when we hit the blocks on June 2nd at our first Long Course Meet!

Stay tuned!!!

SNOW= FAST SWIM!!!!!!!!!

NOT EVEN SNOW WAS ABLE TO STOP our Junior team this past weekend at the Hydro Invitational at Lehman college.
The early wake up alarm did not slow down our 12 & under girls to swim their best times.
Our individual medleys were fantastic!!!!!!!! Girls and boys really worked hard to have all the walls right!!!!
Excellent job!!!
Boys 12 & under really rocked the individual medley too!!!!
It looks like all the hard work in practice on long freestyle set is starting to pay off......what a great results in our 200 free!!!!
Our 13 -14 girls and boys swam fantastic ,racing hard all the way in the 200 individual medley and freestyle events!!!!
We are back in the water and are ready to challenge ourselves with new sets, practices and drills. It is really easy to remember little things such as underwater, no breath in the flag zone and sharp turns WHEN YOU ARE DOING this in practice everyday!!!!!
​Job well done and keep going with the all hard work!!!!!!

Congrats On Our First Meet Junior Team!

Great shout out to the Junior Team!  Our first meet on Saturday October 7th was a fantastic and exciting one.  All the swimmers put their hearts into their races.  All of our hard work in practice could be seen in the results.  If streamlines are any indication of where we are headed this season, then we are headed for success!  We are back in the water focusing on technique, endurance, push-offs, and kicking.  We are excited for our next meet which will be November 4-5 at Iona College.   Keep swimming with happiness in your heart... we are so proud of you!
