Jr. HiPPo & Learn-To-Swim Programs
Jr. Hippos
High Point offers a Junior HiPPos (JH) program for young swimmers, ages 4 and up (by June 1 of the current swim season) who are fully potty trained, to foster the love of competitive swimming in our younger pool members. The program allows younger swimmers to gain confidence in their swimming abilities. Jr. HiPPo swimmers should be able to:
- swim the length of the shallow end of the pool unassisted,
- feel comfortable wearing goggles, and
- blow bubbles under water
Learn-To-Swim
The Learn-to-Swim (LTS) program is for novice swimmers to learn swim basics. Swimmers must be at least 3 years old and fully potty trained as of June 1st, 2026 and should be comfortable entering the pool without a parent and fully submerging.
Instructors
Our Junior Coaches are senior members of the swim team under the direction of our head coach and are Lifeguard, CPR and First Aid certified. Junior Coaches encourage stroke development in freestyle and backstroke. Swimmers who are proficient in free and back will be advanced to the swim team and placed in the “8 & Under” age group.
