Grand Junction Dolphins Summer Swim School Program

Welcome to another summer with the Grand Junction Dolphins Swim School Program! The swim school will still take place at Mesa State Pool, but it will run differently than previously.

Swim School Times:

Two times for the swim school will be offered during the entire summer. We have extended the sessions to 45 minutes. We will be splitting the swimmers into two categories, the beginner swimmers and the advanced swimmers. Their level will dictate which time the swimmer will attend swim school. The Swim School and Coaching staff will determine the swimmers level based on the new criteria.

9:00-9:45 Beginner Swimmers*

9:45-10:30 Advanced Swimmers*

*Swim School Criteria:

The swim school will be categorized into beginner swimmers and advanced swimmers. Their level will dictate which time the swimmer will attend swim school.

Session I (9:00-9:45): (Beginner swimmers will be broken into two classes)

Beginner I:

Level 1: Bobs and bubbles

Level 2: Back and front floats

Level 3: Glides and kicks

Beginner II:

Level 4: Backstroke and slide glide kick

Level 5: Continue backstroke with an introduction to freestyle

Level 6: Freestyle with breathing

Session II: (Advanced Swimmers)

Advanced:

Level 7: Backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke kick

Level 8: All strokes (Backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly)

Level 9: All strokes, elementary backstroke, sidestroke

Level 10: Yardage with all strokes

Note: The completion of level 10 qualifies for an automatic promotion to Grand Junction Dolphins Team status. Earlier promotion will be considered by swim school and coaching staff.

Swim School Sessions:

The summer will be broken down into one week sessions and two week sessions. Both sessions will run five days a week, Monday through Friday. Please note that Swim School will not be conducted the weeks of July 2-6 or July 16-20. The summer season will begin June 4 and end August 10.

Two Week Sessions: One Week Sessions:

Session I: June 4- June 15 Session I: July 9-13

Session II: June 18- June 29 Session II: July 23-27

Session III: July 30- August 10

The payment for the two week sessions will cost USA registered swimmers $60 and non-USA registered swimmers $80. The one week session will run at $30 for USA registered swimmers and $40 for non-USA registered swimmers. Once again, we will be running the money through Marie. She will be asking that the payment (checks made out to GJ Dolphins) be paid to Marie on the first day of each swim school session. Please come earlier on those days so your swimmer can register. This way we will know the numbers for each of the classes. Thank you.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Once again, thank you.
