To gain the most benefit from our excellent coaching staff and help ensure that all partcipants  recieve the instruction and attention they need, the team is divided into four groups, depending upon the swimmer's skill level, experience and commitment.  It is important for each swimmer to attend the appropriate swim practice for his or her skill level.  The coaches will assess all newcomers if you are unsure of your childs level.

GROUP 1  Geared for graduates of swim lessons and works to develop the four basic competitive strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststoke and butterfly.  These swimmers will prepare for competition and are eligible to swim in team meets and are encouraged to do so when their parents, coaches and the swimmer feel they are "meet ready".  These swimmers are usually 6 -10 years old.  They practice 2 -3 days a week.

GROUP 2  Stroke development continues with introduction to competitive technique, including kicks, turns and starts.  These swimmers are usually  8 - 12 years old and they practice 2 -3 days a week.

GROUP 3  Competitive technique continues, along with an introduction to cardiovascular and interval training.  This level will start to add strategy to the stroke technique and the stroke development.  Active participation in practice and a commitment to the team are required at this level.  Dryland and flexibility training are recommended but not required for this group.  These swimmers are usually 10 year old and up and they practice 3 - 4 days a week.

GROUP 4  Most advanced level of swimming offered with advanced stroke technique, intense cardiovascular and interval training.  This group is very goal oriented and dryland strength and flexibility training is mandatory.  USA swimming is highly recommended at this level.  These swimmers are usually 13 years old and up and they practice 4 - 5 days a week.
