When swimmers are ready to make a full commitment
to swimming they are expected to attend at least 90% of the
practices offered for their group. Full participation in meets is
expected so their goals of becoming a State Finalist, State
Champion, Far Western Finalist, or beyond can be reached.
Practices are offered 4 to 5 times per week depending on the
location, but the attendance expectation is 2-3 times per week.
This allows for other after school activities with no need to force
swimmers and parents to choose only one sport or activity.
Our schedule allows the swimmer, and his or her level of
commitment, to grow with the program. Though our attendance
expectation is only 2-3 times per week we do have swimmers who
truly want to commit themselves to the sport of swimming and attend
practice five times per week. All of these swimmers started
swimming two or three times per week, then developed a growing love
for the sport and were inspired to practice more often.
Our program is designed for children from ages 5 through 18, most
who have had previous experience in competitive or pre-competitive
programs. It is the perfect gateway into year around swimming for
those who love recreational swimming in the summer. Prior to the
first day of practice, parents will be asked to fill out a form
indicating their goals for their children and their expectations of
the program. Coach/parent communication is a strong point and is
important. Every swimmer receives personal attention to help them
achieve and exceed their goals.
