Everybody wants to be a Saddlebrook Seahorse, but before they can join the team, we need to get them jumping into the pool and swimming. Our Rookies program does just that.
Rookies is Saddlebrook Swim Team's program for 4-6 year olds just learning to swim. Sessions are led by Coach Sandy with a junior coach working one-on-one with each swimmer with the goal of being ready to compete next year!
To participate in rookies, each child should already be comfortable getting into the pool.
Watch for changes in the 2027 season including a Rookies Advanced group for seahorses who are already beginning to swim!
Rookies begins the week of Memorial Day and runs for four weeks for a total of 8 thirty minute sessions (8:45, 9:15, and 9:45 am), weather permitting.
