Cuda Critters is a learn-to-swim program designed to help our youngest swimmers become comfortable and confident in the water. Our Cuda swim team head coach developed a progressive curriculum that presents swimmers with incremental, achievable goals – like putting their face underneath the water – building toward the goal of swimming 25 meters unassisted and passing the pool’s swim test and/or joining the Cuda swim team.
Our experienced and encouraging coaches are all CPR certified and provide instruction and guidance on effective stroke technique. Swimmers are divided into small groups of swimmers based on skill-level. They may earn rewards each week as they master skills to move to the next level. Critters, like our Cudas, will be able to track their weekly progress on our Critter Star Board. At the conclusion of the season, Critters will also have the opportunity to participate in our Lollipop meet to showcase all the skills they learned throughout the program. It’s a highlight every season!
The 5 week program runs from June 22nd – July 23rd
Morning session: Monday through Friday from 8:45-9:30am ($125).
Afternoon session: Tuesday through Friday from 5:30-6:15pm ($115).
Please note: 6/30, 7/14, and 7/21 evening practice will be from 5-5:45pm due to home dive meets.
A two-week August session is also under consideration for 2026. Check back for more information.
