Competitive Swimming with Swim Gym at the MBJCC
Swim Gym at the MBJCC has developed an exclusive competitive swim team program designed to improve advanced stroke techniques, turns, and dives for young competitive swimmers. The Swim Team helps swimmers refine their performance through focused training in all four competitive strokes — freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. The program is open to swimmers ages 7–11 and is offered in two groups: Pre Team and Young Team, both practicing Monday through Thursday. Practices are held at our Kotzen Aquatics Center, and the team participates in swim meets throughout the season. This is the natural next step for swimmers completing Swim Gym Level 10 (Pre-Team) who are ready for competitive racing.

What Our Swimmers Develop
The MBJCC Swim Team is more than a competitive program — it is a place where young swimmers build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love for the sport. Here is what every team member works toward.
Advanced Stroke Technique
Swimmers refine the mechanics of each stroke under the expert guidance of Swim Gym coaches, building efficiency, power, and endurance across all four competitive disciplines.
Competitive Turns & Dives
Competitive turns and dive entries are a critical component of race performance — our program dedicates focused practice time to perfecting these skills at every session.
All Four Strokes
All four competitive strokes — freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly — are trained and refined throughout the season, preparing swimmers for any event in competition.
Race Readiness & Confidence
Beyond technique, our program builds the mental and physical readiness needed to compete — including race strategy, pacing, and the teamwork and sportsmanship that make our swimmers stand out.
Not Quite Ready for the Team?
The MBJCC Swim Team is designed for swimmers who have already developed strong foundational skills — typically those who have completed Swim Gym Level 10 (Pre-Team Lessons). If your child is still building their stroke technique and water confidence, our Swim Lessons program with Swim Gym provides the perfect pathway to get them team-ready. With 10 progressive levels from Parent & Me through Pre-Team, our lessons program develops every skill a swimmer needs before entering competitive training. Talk to our aquatics team at (305) 534-3206 if you are unsure which program is the right fit — we are happy to help you find the best starting point for your swimmer.
