Welcome to Unique Swimming

Developing unique people and athletes, everyday. 

Unique Swimming fulfills the needs of area swimmers from developmental instruction, to age group competition, as well as national and international competition.  Unique swimmers are part of a swim program that maximizes individual potential and swimming experience with professional, nationally recognized coaches, and highly focused training groups.

A unique characteristic of our club is that we are interested in swimmers of all ranges and abilities.  Unique Swimming offers swim development programs which are solely non-competitive.  Within our 10 and under and age group programs, we offer developmental/non-competitive groups as well as groups that are identified as highly competitive/highly elite.  Within our senior program we offer a high school level development group, a pre-senior group which prepares athletes to train at an elite senior level, and an elite senior group.  Unique Swimming also offers the only high performance program in the area.

Unique Swimming has a mission to develop unique swimmers of all levels, in a recognized program, that represents unique ability as part of a team supported by an outstanding coaching staff and parents.

Progressive Skill Levels:

The coaching staff will use skill levels and test sets as a means of measuring as well as tracking each and every swimmers development. The goal is to offer swimmers, parents and coaches the necessary information needed for group placement. Progressive skill levels will also be used by the athlete to track his/her progress.

Program Placement:

The coaching staff determines the placement of each and every swimmer within each program as well as each practice group. The coaching staff cares about each and every swimmer’s development therefore has each and every swimmer’s best interest as the driving force when determining group placement. Ultimately the swimmer’s skill level, performance level, as well as personal desire will determine the placement of each swimmer within the program.

 10 and Under Program:

The unique 10 and under programs will focus on developing young swimmers of all abilities. This includes swimmers with no competitive experience, swimmers with experience in summer league or lessons programs, as well as state championship qualifiers. The main focus of the 10 and under programs is to continue to enjoy and develop a love for the sport.

 Age Group Program:

The unique age group programs will focus on teaching and developing competitive skills to new swimmers with no competitive experience as well as swimmers competing at the State championship and national levels. Swimmers in this program will focus on advanced skill development, advanced technique/drills, interval training, and aerobic conditioning. Age range for the unique age group programs is 11 – 14 or middle school level.

 Senior Program:

The unique senior program will focus on teaching and developing committed swimmers ages 15 and older or high school level. The senior program also offers a pre-senior group comprised of swimmers ages 12 – 15. The focus of this group is on developing committed swimmers for the high performance group as well as national and international competition. Swimmers in this program will focus on perfecting advanced skills, advanced stroke mechanics, advanced training techniques, advanced racing strategies, and mental discipline.

 High Performance Program:

The unique high performance program will consist of elite athletes with proper focus towards national, international and collegiate swimming. Swimmers in this program also possess a strong desire to train towards and qualify for USA Junior Nationals, USA Senior Nationals, US Open, World Championships, as well as Olympic trials. The high performance program requires the highest levels of commitment, effort, motivation and participation.

  • Swimmers in the above mentioned programs will be further divided into practice groups in order to maintain effective coach/swimmer communications, as well as to group swimmers of similar ability, age, and interest. Each practice group will have practice attendance requirements; meet participation requirements, skill level requirements, coach’s expectation requirements, as well as performance requirements.
