“Helping kids become extraordinary people
through the sport of swimming.”
The Marlins are pleased to offer several opportunities
for swimmers of all ages, abilities and commitments. To get more information about any
of the Sierra Marlin programs call (916)
990-5584.
Marlin
Swim
School
The Marlins have a year round INDOOR swim school in
Folsom! Swimmers of all ability levels age 3 and up can hone their
swimming skills in our once or twice per week program. The water is
a comfortable 90 degrees and being indoors creates a wonderful
environment for young swimmers to develop their skills. Much like
learning a musical instrument, consistent practice year round leads
to efficient development. Classes are held every month of the year
and swimmers can begin lessons anytime.
Fall Clinic
Our annual fall clinic will begin August 17th and run
through November 21st. This program is designed for summer league
swimmers in 1st through 12th grade that wish to further their
overall swimming development and get a taste of what it is like to
be a USA Swimming athlete. There will be three meets over the
course of the clinic so that swimmers can see their progress over
the three month program. Swimmers will get the opportunity to work
with our award winning full time coaching professionals throughout
the clinic.
Winter Clinic
Our winter clinic will begin November 22nd and go through
January 28th, 2011. Summer league swimmers will get a chance to
continue to develop their skills into the winter season. Once
again, swimmers will get the opportunity to work with our full time
professional coaches.
Year Round Swimming
Due to popular demand, we are excited to be offering a
new track within the Sierra Marlins for athletes that want to swim
year round, but play other sports and/ or are involved in other
activities. There is no attendance requirement for these groups and
the entrance requirements are more relaxed than our college prep
track. Athletes have
the flexibility to stay in this track for the duration of their
swimming career or transfer over to our college prep track if and
when they choose.
Of course our most popular and well known track is our
college prep track. Groups in this track are for those that have
prioritized swimming and have dreams of swimming in college or
swimming on a National or International level. The Marlins have a
long history of developing many of the area’s best swimmers
including National Champions, USA National Team Members, World
Championship medalists and NCAA All Americans. This year alone, the
Marlins are sending 10 student-athletes on to some of the finest
Universities in the country including
Stanford
,
Cal
, Notre Dame, Cornell and others. Many
summer swimmers have the basic skills necessary to start in this
track right away, or with some hard work they can develop their
skills and switch to this track when they are
ready.
By joining the Sierra Marlins, each swimmer becomes a
member of USA Swimming. USAS is the national governing body for the
sport of swimming with over 250,000 members and over 2700
participating clubs across
America
. With membership, each Marlin athlete is
tied to our Olympians who, as members of USAS, have maintained our
country as the best swimming nation in the world for over 40
years. Each Marlin swimmer will receive a USA Swimming
membership card with an individual USAS number which will remain
the same for the length of a swimmers career. Every swimmer also
receives a subscription to Splash! Magazine. All Marlin swimmers
are covered under USA Swimming’s general liability insurance
policy.
We are constantly growing and training young swimmers to
maintain a well rounded competitive swim team. Thank you for
joining us. We are looking forward to meeting you. Please feel free
to ask
a board member or coachany question you may have.
