Marlins Non-Competitive Progamming now available at Keating and NKU
The Marlins are excited to announce that we will be offering groups at both locations designed to encourage and foster a love of swimming in a non-competitive environment. Beginning in September, our Bronze group will be available for 10 and under swimmers that would like to swim on a regular basis (3 times per week) but either play additional sports or aren't interested in competing. This group is a seasonal program which allows families to start or stop between seasons based on their swimmers and families schedules if needed. We are also excited to announce the return of the Sea Horses (previously Pre-comp or Club express). This group is for 12 and unders that would like to swim once per week to stay in shape or to learn to swim.
If you would like to join either of these programs, you can register at the link below. Please note that Bronze swimmers must complete an assessment with our coaches prior to registration to minimum skills to participate.
To sign up for an upcoming assessment date, please use this form: https://forms.gle/QzTTnf9fQm9k2Fvm9
