The Tier 1 Program is the first level of the competitive programming within the Dolphin Swim Club and runs from September to May. Swimmers generally age from 7 to 10 years old but age is not a criterion for entering into the program. Children entering into this program have completed one year in the Junior Dolphin program or a level five swimming lessons or must be able to complete one length of the competitive pool without assistance.

This program is an extension of the Junior Dolphin program, focusing on the basic skills of competitive swimming. Swimmers in this program compete at swim meets on Island with the option of attending one or two off Island meets. The main objective by the end of the season is to have the swimmers in this program achieve the “SKILL” level on the Summerside Dolphin Performance Chart.
