Precompetitive Group

This is our entry level group. An athlete needs to be able to swim unassisted in the deep water.  Athletes in this group mainly learn freestyle and backstroke while having fun.
 

Developmental Group

From the Precompetitive group, athletes move into this group. Athletes in this group focus mainly on learning four legal competitive strokes, having fun, and perfecting start and turn technique.
 

Age Group I

From the Precompetitive group, athletes move into this group. Athletes in this group are usually at least 10 years old and are legal in all four competitive strokes. This group is exposed to training for the first time. Competing at swim meets is highly encouraged at a rate of about once per month.
 

Age Group II

Athletes must have a minimum of "BB" motivational times to participate in this group.  Athletes entering this group must display a desire to begin training on a more committed basis. Competition at swim meets is expected in this group. Training takes precedence over technique work for the first time in the athlete’s development.

Senior Group

Minimum age for entry into this group is 13.  Athletes must have a minimum of "BB" motivational times.  Athletes entering the Senior group must display a strong desire to perform at the highest level they are capable of.
