About the Program

  • Skill Level: Beginner
  • Age Requirement: 3–8 years old
  • Skill Requirement: This program is for swimmers who cannot yet swim 25 meters unassisted.

Junior Flyers is designed to build water confidence and teach the basic mechanics of crawl/freestyle in a fun and safe environment. Swimmers work with coaches and helpers in small groups during a 30-minute in-water practice.

Important Notes

  • There are no makeup days for weather cancellations, team events, or pool closures.
  • Session changes are not guaranteed and depend on space availability.
  • Practice times are not interchangeable with Briar Flyers or Competitive Swim Team practices.
  • Swimmers promoted to Briar Flyers must fulfill all Briar Flyers parent volunteer requirements.

Promotions

Swimmers who successfully swim 25 meters may be promoted to Briar Flyers. Promotions can happen at any time during the season and are based on swimmer readiness, lane space, and coach approval.

Team Events & Fundraising

Junior Flyers are invited to participate in all team events and fundraising activities, including the Swimathon. While only Briar Flyers swim laps for pledges, Junior Flyers can still help raise money and attend the event.

All swimmers are recognized at the end-of-season banquet, and families are encouraged to attend.

Annual Swim-a-Thon Fundraiser Event

Swim-a-Thon Information

Event Details:

Join us for prizes, raffles, games, and music while swimming for a good cause.

How It Works:
Athletes ask for donations from sponsors such as family and friends, either per lap (one pool length) or a lump sum donation from as many donors as possible. Each swimmer will swim as many laps as they can and then collect the pledges from their sponsors. Volunteers and coaches will keep track and tally the total laps swum.

Pledge Sheets and Donation Forms:
Coming Soon - 2025 BVST Swim-A-Thon Pledge Sheet and Donation Form

Whom to Ask for Pledges:
Ask your friends, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, parents' co-workers who may be interested in sponsoring you, and of course, your mom and dad! Some people like to donate 10 cents, 25 cents, or 50 cents per lap and enjoy seeing how many laps you'll swim. Others may prefer to donate a lump sum amount.

Why is the Swim-a-thon Important?

The Swim-a-Thon is our flagship fundraising event, offering vital support to both the Briar Flyer and Junior Flyer swim programs. By participating or contributing, you play a crucial role in ensuring the ongoing success of our team. Funds raised during this event directly contribute to covering operational expenses and facilitating various activities, all while helping to maintain accessible registration fees. At the heart of our mission lies a commitment to fostering a healthy, active lifestyle that resonates with our local community. Through comprehensive stroke instruction, well-organized meets, and team events, the Briar Village Swim Team programs strive to provide children with enriching experiences that leave a lasting impact. As a non-profit public charity run entirely by volunteers since its establishment in 1974, every contribution counts. We invite you to show your support and join us in our collective effort to raise essential funds for our team. 

Thank you for standing with us!
