Intro to Evo

Intro to Evo is a fun, precompetitive swim team where coaches work with your children to master the four major swim strokes. This program is offered to students ages five and up who have a working knowledge of freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. We offer this program at both of our indoor, year-round locations.

Structure:

1. At our Mission Viejo location, this program meets Monday- Sunday for 45-minute practices. Students can attend 1x or 2x per week, where you choose the day(s) and location that is most convenient to you.
2. At our Rancho Mission Viejo location, this program meets Monday – Thursday, and Sunday. Students can attend 1x or 2x per week, where you choose the day(s) and location that is most convenient to you.
3. The Intro to Evo program is a year-round program and parents can choose to start this program at any point in the season. The program is month-to-month so you can start and end the program at your convenience.
4. We offer “Splash & Dash” swim meets throughout the year. These swim meets are recognized as “recitals” for precompetitive swimmers.
5. Swimmers who are promoted to Intro to Evo 2 are ready to participate on a competitive swim team. A family can choose to continue swimming in this program or transition to Evolution Racing Club, our competitive swim team.

Coaching Staff:

Our coaches are trained and certified in our Intro to Evo course curriculum. Depending on the number of students in the class, we will have 1 or 2 coaches.

Equipment Requirements:

1. Each swimmer must have goggles, fins, and a kickboard
2. Swimmers with long hair or hair that goes past the eye line, must wear a swim cap to keep the hair out of the eyes.
3. Boys must wear “jammer” or “brief” swimsuits and girls must wear one-piece swimsuits. We do not allow board shorts for boys or two-piece swimsuits for girls. We sell Arena branded Intro to EVO swimsuits.
