Senior Development- This group is the entry level into our
Senior Program. If a swimmer in this group qualifies for a
Team Championship (Division I’s, Zones, Sectionals), they
should set a good example for the younger swimmers of the program
and attend. Upper level swimmers in this group begin to
emphasize serious training in preparation for higher levels of
swimming. This group is ideal for High School swimmers who
are less committed and will meet the needs of athletes coming from
other sports or high school age swimmers currently in the Tsunami
program who are still working on translating dry land power into
aquatic speed. Technique and skill development are the
primary focus. Swimmers are strongly encouraged to attend all
practices as skills and progressions build from one practice
session to another, but attendance is not mandatory. Swimmers
must be 13 years old. Head Coach will have final approval on
appointment.
