Suitable for swimmers aged approximately 7-12 years, the junior program caters for young swimmers who enjoy their swimming and want to become strong swimmers. To enroll in the Junior Program, swimmers need to be able to swim 25m freestyle and 25m backstroke. For beginners and swimmers aged under 7 years old, we recommend enrolling in Minky's Swim School at the MARC.
