Cameron Diamond Invitational

Benefiting the Charlotte R. Bloomberg

Children's Center at Johns Hopkins

Crofton Aquatics is pleased to host an annual novice invitational meet at the Crofton Swim and Tennis Club dedicated in the memory of one of Crofton's own, Cameron Diamond.

About this Event

Formerly known as the Crofton Aquatics Novice Meet, it was renamed in 2010 to honor Cameron Diamond, a young girl and member of CSTC who epitomized courage, perseverance and grace in her battle with leukemia. She inspired Campower -- a strength and spirit that brought our community together. Through the generosity of our swim team families and the greater community over the last 5 years, our event has raised over $40,000 in donations, many boxes of art and craft supplies, as well as hundreds of get well cards for children fighting for better health at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. In addition, it has brought families and friends together for a wonderful community tradition. Each year's event will continue to raise money put toward donations in Cam's honor. Please see www.camerondiamond.org for more details and a link to make a contribution.

CATS Learn 2 Swim

Program Overview

WELCOME to the 2019 CATS LEARN 2 SWIM LESSON SEASON! We are pleased to offer a number of great swim programs at the Crofton Swim and Tennis Club! Our CATS LEARN 2 SWIM program features smaller groups, a staff of trained lifeguards and passionate swim instructors, clear objectives and expectations for each level, a knowledgeable and accessible program director, swimmer progress reports and more!

Swim Mini Camp

The CATS L2S SWIM MINI CAMP is designed for our youngest swimmers (age 5-8) who want to get their ’feet wet’ prior to the start of the CATS SWIM TEAM season. Join us as we start off the 2019 L2S season for a three night swim camp from May 28th-30th! Our 30 minute classes start at 5:30 pm and end at 7 pm

Mini Camp Objectives

To help our younger swimmers decide which level of swim they would fit into (Swim Team or JUNIOR CATS)
To give swimmers an extra opportunity to become reacquainted with the size and length of our pool
We will touch on the basics of the 4 competitive swim strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly) as well as racing starts and heat winning finishes!

Contact Coach Karen for details on how to sign up… SPACE IS LIMITED! learn2swimCATS@gmail.com

Junior CATS Swim Program

Our JUNIOR CATS Swim Program is designed for swimmers who have graduated from our Learn 2 Swim lessons program, but are not ready to make the full commitment to the CATS Swim Team. The JUNIOR CATS will practice Monday- Friday from 10:00 am-10:45 am. Eligible swimmers are able to participate in one or both of our three-week sessions. SESSION 1 begins June 17th (June 17th– July 5th) and SESSION 2 begins on July 8th (July 8th-26th). Space is limited! The JR CATS program is $112 per session per student. Although we have no age limit it is important that our swimmers can perform a few basic safety/swimming techniques in order to be eligible for this class. JUNIOR CATS must be able to swim independently in the water and have a high level of confidence while in the pool. It is vital for safety reasons that our JR CATS can navigate their way through the pool without a coach standing next to them. The L2S director reserves the right to move participants to a lower group if necessary. Please refer to our check list of L2S Levels as our JR CATS must be proficient up through the Piranhas level. NEW THIS SEASON will be competition Fridays!

Group & Private Lessons

Each swim session (one week period) will include 150 minutes of lesson time each week. All fees are nonrefundable. Sessions fees are due PRIOR to the start of each session. Once the pool opens all forms and payments can be dropped off at the front desk of the pool in a clearly marked envelope (CSTC Learn2Swim Program and the students name on the front). Students will have their space confirmed via email only when payment and Family Registration Form is received. The LEARN 2 SWIM Director will determine if a make-up session is needed due to excessive cancellations during a session. Each session is $55 per swimmer. Each class is limited to 5 students per instructor. This will allow more instructional time for each student during their training session. If we have a group that has exceeds 5 students there will be a second teacher assigned.

Semi-private group lessons (2-4 students per teacher) and private lessons for children and adults are available and will be conducted outside of the scheduled programs. You are encouraged to contact the director at learn2swimCATS@gmail.com to coordinate.

Registration

The 2019 GROUP SWIM LESSON registration will be held on SUNDAY, JUNE 2nd from 5pm- 6pm in the CSTC Clubhouse. Sign up is on a first in first served basis beginning on this day.
