The O.R.C.A Swim Club is program specifically aimed at motivated and driven 12 to 15 year old children. These children are often around the pool but have no real direction in and around the water. They would prefer not to be on a swim team but still love to workout and enjoy being in water. Our Club shows swimmers the full spectrum of Aquatics and the opportunities which present themselves. From lifeguarding, instructing to teaching water aerobics and coaching there are a plethora of aquatics positions.
Swimmers are not required to attend mandatory practices, they don't exist!!!!. Swimmers can swim whenever classes are in session but must fulfill weekly yardage (500 yards) requirements to remain eligible for club advantages. (If you are not near an "O.R.C.A" sanctioned pool - you may work out on your own and record your progress weekly - on our website)
Advantages include Free BSI swim instructor course (American Red Cross) Free lifeguard course (American Red Cross) discounts on swim lessons, early enrollment in lessons, access to the pool whenever classes are in session for training or recreational use. (All "POD" Swimmers will be required to volunteer at a local learn to swim program if not near an O.R.C.A sanctioned pool)
Attendance is extremely important while enrolled in The ORCAS Swim Club. Swimmers must also be enrolled in the program for a minimum of 1 calendar year to be eligible for free classes. Training will be completed through program activities and direct exposure to Aquatics management.
NOTE: While our "PODS" will swim at their own locations and pace we will all represent the O.R.C.A.S program to the best of our abilities.
Our organization realizes the potential of the Aquatics world. Swimming instructors and lifeguards are always in high demand. From collegiate jobs, after school positions as well as a potential career in Aquatics, swimming is not only the best all around workout but the best all around activity.
(IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A POOL BUT DO NOT HAVE TIME TO TRAVEL THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU)
