Aquatics - Elgin Cyclones

Elgin Cyclones Swim Team

Are you looking for a competitive team to further your swimming career? Or are you looking for a fun way to learn the sport of swimming? If you answered yes to either of these questions, look no further than the Elgin Cyclones Swim Team. The Cyclones are a year round competitive team that competes at the highest level of swimming and still nurtures the novice swimmer to become a great swimmer. Summer registration is currently underway. The season lasts until late July depending on time standards and qualifying times. All Cyclones must join USA Swimming. A new parent orientation will be held on March 21 from 9-11 am at The Centre of Elgin in the West Conference Room. Team evaluations will be held on April 4 from 10:00am – noon at The Centre of Elgin. Swimmers new to the Cyclones who have not been previously evaluated by a member of our coaching staff should bring suit, goggles, and a cap so that they can be evaluated and placed in the appropriate workout group. Cyclones Swim Academy Cyclone Swim Academy is a training ground for swimmers who want to learn the basic skills necessary for competition – namely, legal competitive stroke techniques, competition turns and starts, and what it means to be a good teammate. The minimum requirements to pass an evaluation to train with the CSA group are: classroom behavior, desire to join the Cyclones, complete comfort in deep water, 25 yards swimming freestyle with rhythmic breathing skills and 25 yards backstroke – both swims must be non-stop. A practice meet with prizes for all participants will be held during each 10-week session to give CSA swimmers a beginner’s sense of what’s expected at a big meet. Swimmers and parents are expected to participate as full team members. All swimmers must join Illinois Swimming at the time of registration. Advancement to Bronze Group is wholly the decision of the Bronze Coach, based upon skill proficiency and other considerations specific to the Bronze Training Group. Length:

Platinum Group This group is designed for the Age Group Swimmer who is ready to start making a serious commitment to the sport of swimming and begin progressing towards being a top-level athlete on not only the state level, but the national level as well.

If they fail to get their practice attendance back to the required percentage they will be placed in the Gold Group for the remainder of the swim season with an opportunity to return the following season. This group is seen as a privilege and is expected to be held at a higher standard, it should in return be treated as one.

Learning proper mechanics and footwork early can make a huge difference as the athletes grow. The trained and dedicated All Star Staff have the patience and know how to motivate and communicate with the young players. Junior programs are designed to keep everyone actively moving, thinking, having fun, and a positive experience. Drills are hidden in games and terminology that kids can understand. Learning about teamwork and sportsmanship is a large part of each program. DL Junior Parent and Tot This program gives you and your child an opportunity to bond and have fun together while learning a variety of sports. This class is great for improving simple motor skills such as catching, throwing, batting, shooting, passing, running and really helps in developing hand eye coordination. Parents participate with the child as we play soccer, basketball, hockey, t-ball, football and other sports.

Junior Soccer

Junior Super Sports

Our lesson plan is designed to teach the game by hiding drills in fun games and using association techniques that get down to the players level. We will cover simple foot skills, dribbling, passing, shooting, basic rules, and work on spreading the field. This class will not only keep the players active but will be a great base to prepare them for the next level of play.

This is for the all around athlete or for a child who wants to take a shot at different sports. Stay active and work on balance, motor skills, and hand eye coordination all while learning the rules of baseball, football, floor hockey, soccer, basketball, and more. We will focus on a new sport each class and work on basic rules and mechanics all while we play games.
