The Blue Group

Ages:

5 to 12 Years Old

Focus: 

Continued focus geared toward preparing the swimmer for longer and more demanding practice sessions, and includes starts, turns, and more aerobic base training loads.

Competitions:

Blue Group swimmers are encouraged to participate in competitions at the coaching staff’s recommendation. Blue Group swimmers are encouraged to attend more state wide competitions as their skill levels and competitive confidence grows.
