Bronze 3 is an introductory competitive group for swimmers ages 8 and under. The focus is on developing fundamental skills in all four strokes, along with proper starts, turns, and finishes. Practices are designed to build confidence, coordination, and comfort in a structured team environment.

Swimmers in this group begin to learn:

• Basic stroke technique

• Lane etiquette and following coach instructions
