2025 Developmental Swim Handout

CBSC’s Speed Swimming Program helps swimmers of all ages and stages progress in the sport while developing excellent technique, confidence, and a love of racing. Our program offers a clear development pathway:

Road to the CBSC Swim Team – 2025 Season

STEP 1: Swim Lessons
Progress through CBSC Swim Lessons to gain basic skills in all four strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.

STEP 2: Development Swim Team
Join the CBSC Development Swim Team to build endurance, strength, and strong technique in a fun, team-based environment. Swimmers can gain exposure to racing through in-house meets like the CBSC B Meet and Galas. At least one season in Dev Swim is required to advance onto the competitive swim team.

STEP 3: Competitive Swim Team
Advance to the Competitive Swim Program (Junior or Senior) for more intensive training, skill development, and regular meet participation as we work toward Regionals.

Junior Comp is for motivated Div 1–2 swimmers (and some developing Div 3s) who are ready for structured training and increased racing experience. This group works toward building a strong foundation in technique, endurance, and racing skills, with a focus on all four strokes. Training is age-appropriate, emphasizing the development of technically sound, efficient swimming—our hallmark “Crescent Beach stroke.” Junior swimmers are encouraged to attend weekend meets alongside our senior comp team, but there are also skill-appropriate options like the CBSC B Meet and Richmond Kigoos Development Meet to gain confidence and racing experience in a fun, supportive team environment.

Senior Comp is for experienced Division 3+ swimmers who are proficient in all four strokes and ready to take their training to the next level. This performance-focused program emphasizes fitness, racing speed, and technical excellence, with higher-volume training sessions that average 2–4 km. Swim meet participation is a core expectation for all CBSC competitive swimmers. To be eligible for Regionals (including relays), swimmers must attend at least one regular weekend meet. In true CBSC spirit, there’s a special secret sauce that blends hard training with unforgettable fun, creating a summer full of cherished memories and a lifelong love of competitive swimming at Crescent Beach.
