VA Hills Winter Swim
VA Hills Winter Swim might be for those of you looking for an option to keep swimming and NCAP doesn’t fit with your family’s plans. The VA Hills program is Sunday nights, typically from 6-7 PM at Franconia Rec Center. The first session runs from mid-September to early Dec (about 10 Sundays in total) and the second session is February through early May (also about 10 sessions). The targeted groups for this program are 6-8 years old and 9-12 years old. A strong focus for the Sunday sessions is building endurance and learning strokes other than freestyle for the 6-8 year olds and learning/improving flip turns, breaststroke, and butterfly for the 9-12 year olds. We will have 36 spots and the registration info will come out in mid-August once I have the lane rental information from the rec center.
NCAP Open House
We are excited to announce two open house/tryouts for any swimmers interested in joining our J&M Swim/NCAP team. Our team training sites are Franconia Rec, George Washington Rec, and Providence Rec. All ages are welcome to try out and hear about our different programs. Ages 6-18. Flyer is attached.
Tuesday July 16, 5-6 pm at Poplar Heights Recreation Association Pool, 2463 Buckelew Drive, Falls Church.
Wednesday July 17, 3:30-4:30 pm, Mount Vernon Park Association Pool, 8042 Fairfax Road, Alexandria.
Please come meet our coaches, hear about our competitive and non-competitive programs at all three sites. Your swimmers should come ready to swim and try out for our coaches so we can recommend them to the appropriate group. If they sign up by midnight that day they will receive a 5% discount, that is applied as credit to their accounts.
If you are interested but cannot attend the Open House, talk with Coach Katie and she will help you figure out which group to register.
