Albany Armada Aquatics is a year round, competitive USA swim team. We offer 6 groups ranging from beginner to elite level swimmer. Each group is organized by age, skill and competitive experience.
Mini Blue is our most beginner level for swimmers age 6-9. Mini blue swimmers swim 3 days a week 1 hour each day.
Mini Blue Required skills:
Freestyle - comfortably complete 25 yards of free w/ side breathing
Backstroke - complete 25 yards of backstroke,
Breaststroke- legal kick and some knowledge of pull pattern- 15 yards
Butterfly - it's ok if swimmers don't know fly yet but we love to see some knowledge of dolphin kick 15 yards
Other ideal skills- strong kick in free and back w/straight legs, good listeners who can apply stroke instruction, and work in a group setting.
