QUESTION &
ANSWER
Q: Can we try-out the team before
committing to registration, fees,etc. ?
A: Yes, we recommend all swimmers
attend 2-3 practices prior to joining the team (excluding
pre-team).
Q: How often
is my child required to attend practice?
A: We do not
have practice requirements for most of our programs although we do
suggest 3-5 sessions per week for most of our age-group
swimmers.
Q: Do we have
to compete in swim meets?
A: No, we
don’t require competition, but suggest it! We find that
kids learn to want to compete on their own accord.
Q: Are team
suits and caps required?
A: Although,
we suggest most girls should wear caps to keep their hair out of
their face while swimming we do not have requirements, we do have a
team suit and you will be able to order them directly
from the website, but not required to have.
Q: How much is
this going to cost?
A: We have a
yearly registration and insurance fee that may range from $40-$80
depending on which group your child participates in. Each
training group has separate fee’s you may find those
fee’s in the registration packet above. All swim meets
have entry fee’s which can range from $10-$30 per meet.
Q: How do we
know when our swimmers are progressing?
A: Obviously
if your child is competing in swim meets you will see decreases in
their times. You may ask for feed-back from their coach
either through email or finding them on the pool deck before of
after practice. Please do not disturb coaches during practice
as their full attention shall be directed to the swimmers.
Q: What is so
great about ASG?
A: ASG
has a huge history of developing great athletes from Age-Group
swimmers to Olympic Trial Qualifiers and National Team members, but
most importantly athletes at ASG learn to become responsible for
their own progression in the sport. Learning is achieved
through guidance and freedom to progress on their own wants and
needs, this creates a great work ethic, great athletes and
very unique personalities.
