2008 Mavericks Handbook

The Mavericks Level I program is for youngsters 5-6 years old who are graduating from a swim school, a summer aquatic camp or energetic "new to swimming" individuals who have an elementary command of the strokes.  Coach Audrey Ryder will employ her patient and nurturing characteristics to open the world of swimming to these budding aquatic individuals.  The program will be kept small to offer a high level of coach to swimmer feedback and interaction in a low stress and comfortable environment.

For youths between 6 and 8 years old and who have been in the Jr. Mavericks program, please visit the Junior Mavericks page.

For youths between 8 and 16 years old, please visit the Mavericks page.
