Guppy Program
The Guppies program is for young swimmers who may not quite be ready for the regular swim team. The only requirement is that a child be able to swim the width of the pool in any stroke, without stopping, walking on the bottom, or being helped. In borderline cases, a child may participate in the program for the first two weeks in an effort to meet this goal. Registration fees, minus $6.00 SAIL insurance fee, will be returned if there is unforeseen difficulty in achieving the Guppy swimmer's goal and/or happiness. However, this program is not to be considered as a substitute for swimming lessons. There is no age limit in Guppies. Guppies are part of the Gower swim team and will participate in all socials, pep rallies and team photo. Guppies will participate in their own awards ceremony and receive their team gift at that time. Guppies may agree to move up to the regular swim team during the swim season, based on the judgment of the coaches and the permission of the parents. For safety's sake, each Guppy needs an assigned or delegated individual to be available during each practice.
We have a wonderful line-up of coaches who are excited about developing your child's potential. The Guppy Team is for children who can swim the width of the pool without stopping.
