SWIM TEAM

At CCRC, you’ll find a swim program that caters to all swimmers, from those who have never been a part of a team to year round competitors. Over the years, we have worked hard to develop a program unique to summer swimming in St. Louis, where the focus is on learning and improving in a fun, positive atmosphere.

Our goal is for each swimmer to improve in technique and speed while enjoying the CCRC team experience. This is accomplished by a coaching duo that enjoys not only helping kids become better swimmers, but also getting to know each child individually. This belief is the basis of our program, which operates on the philosophy that the success of the individual creates the success of the team.


Some aspects of our program that set us apart include:
-	consistent coaching that seeks to innovate and improve coaching techniques
-	3 practices grouped according to skill level (vs. 2 groups strictly by age)
-	recognition of swimmers of the week, month, and year
Additionally, the coaches offer stroke clinics and private lessons throughout the season to further the success of the swimmers.
