Just wanted to leave a quick side note, I will be away from the Keys from Friday July 17th until Tuesday July 21st for a wedding reception back home. Mark and John will still be around to run practices, with Nico, Elyse, and Andrea helping out. I will be back on Wednesday for some work before JOs, and if last night's practice was any indication we are definitely prepared for the meet! Keep swimming fast, keep getting lots of sleep, and please keep the coaching staff informed of how your body feels. The culmination of our season is rapidly approaching, and its time to make the Keyfish a regular name at Junior Olympics!

Learn To Swim
Over the last three years the Florida Keys Swim Club has expanded to become the most successfull team in the Florida Keys. The next step in securing the programs future success is getting the yonger age groups involved. For this reason we have started a Learn To Swim program. The Learn To Swim program is a feeder program designed to give the younger age groups the building blocks to become better swimmers as they mature and evolve to become competetive high school level swimmers and beyond. Our Learn To Swim is broken into 4 groups:
Starfish, ages about 3-5 yrs old * focus on becomming comfortable in the water, survival swimming, floating, kicking playing games ect.
Sea Horses, ages 5-7*, continue with being comfortable in the water and begin to develop competetive freestyle and backstroke.
Flounders, 7-9* yr olds, work on perfecting their strokes and succesfully swiming across the pool. Learn flip turns, dives and other parts of competetive races.
The Key Fish 9* and up will be introduced to butterfly and breaststroke and refine thier cometetive swimming techniques. This level is ready for competition!
Our group lessons are held to 5 people so that each participant gets special attention. Developing swimming skills from the begging will be beificial at all levels from recreational to competive swimming
Sessions will run for 3 weeks and are on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Swim times are subject to group placement.
Sessions are as follows:
Session 1: May 11-29
Session 2: June 8 - 26th
Session 3: July 6 - 24th
Session 4 Aug 3 - 21

Mission Statement and Practice Goals
Mission Statement:The goal of our swim club is to train age group, and high school level swimmers in a way that improves their skills as athletes, while promoting and encouraging their love of the sport. It is also our goal to develop mentally strong, and confident kids who can carry the tools of the sport into all areas of their life. We recognize that successful swimmers are important, but not nearly as important as successful people.
Practice Goals:A FKSC practice is not designed to grind out yardage, but more so to use a balance of teaching , drilling, and fast swimming to make sure the quality of the swimming, and the sport is maintained. There are times when we will not focus on how fast a swimmer is, but how that swimmer chooses to go fast. There are other times, however, when the competitive drive, and the willingness to test one's skill against others will be encouraged, and swimmers will most definitely practice swimming fast. In the end, our goal is to design a well balanced program that will take the Florida Keys Swim Club to the next level.
