Introducing the Mill Glen Marlins Pre-Team! We are pleased to be able to offer a wonderful swimming experience at Mill Glen. The Marlin’s pre-team is designed for kids who either enjoy swimming but are not ready for the rigor of the swim team or who cannot swim the length of the pool unassisted (typically ages 4-6). The goal of the pre-team is to provide a fun environment that encourages the love of swimming as a team sport. The intent is to provide an environment where the swimmers will improve their ability and confidence in the water and be able to join the Marlins. Izzie Wathen, Caroline Boatwright, Annie Quinn will coach the pre-team. Their focus will be on helping each child improve in the mechanics of his/her stroke and building stamina. The Pre-team will begin on Monday, June 5. They will swim on Mondays -Fridays from 11:00 – 11:30 am, ending Friday, June 23. On the last day, there will be a mini-meet in which the kids swim their strokes and get ribbons. The size of the pre-team will be limited to 12 swimmers. This is necessary to ensure that each child has adequate access to instruction. The practices are just that, practices. This is not a group swim lesson. However, the structure of the team ensures that each child will be able to improve their skills and increase their stamina. The cost for the program is $90/swimmer. The fee includes coaching and the intrasquad meet. The pre-team is also invited for the food and fun part of the Swim team banquet to be held on Thursday, June 29 in the late afternoon. Several parents have asked if their child could swim in a regular swim meet if they start on the pre-team. The answer is yes, if they can demonstrate that they can swim the length of the pool unassisted, they meet the age requirement (5 by June 1 or entering Kindergarten in the fall), and they want to swim in a meet. In order to swim in the meet(s), swimmers must be registered with our swim association, ASA. As the season progresses, you can discuss your child’s progress with the coaches and if the situation arises, we will help you get your child registered. The ASA fee is approximately $35. We are excited about the start of this team for our younger swimmers. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Becca Herman (
