Pre-Team

The Buffalo Stampeders Pre-Team program (known as the Buffalo group) is designed for swimmers who can swim freestyle and backstroke for 25 yards without stopping but are not yet ready for the commitment or competition of the Buffalo Stampeders Aquatic Club. Offered twice during the winter when SwimAmerica sessions are not in session, this 6-week program provides a bridge to competitive swimming.

Each week focuses on a different skill: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, turns, and dives. The first session prioritizes refining technique to ensure swimmers perform each stroke at a competitive level. The second session builds on that foundation, while increasing the intensity of workout sets to enhance endurance.

With sessions held three nights per week, swimmers can balance other activities while continuing to develop their skills in the pool. This program also serves as a stepping stone for those aspiring to join the Buffalo Stampeders Swim Aquatics Club in the future.
