2026 Developmental Swim Handout
CBSC’s Competitive 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 CBSC Comp Swim Program
STEP 1: Swim Lessons
Progress through CBSC Swim Lessons to gain basic skills in all four strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.
STEP 2: Developmental Swim
Join the Dev Swim 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 usually required to advance into the Competitive Program. Dev Swim Handout
STEP 3: Comp Swim
Advance to the Competitive Program for more intensive training, skill development, and regular meet participation as we work toward Regionals. Joining Comp for the first time requires coach pre-approval. Comp Swim Handout
