Training Groups
for 2009-2010
The Clemson Aquatic Team
offers a variety of training levels for all athletes. From the
novice swimmer to the most advanced, CAT is able to provide the
education and training needed for athletes to achieve their
goals.
As the athletes progress in their training and ability,
they will be promoted to the next level training group. Each
progressive training group will require more time of the athletes
and their families to insure continuity in training and continued
achievement.
Please feel free to contact the Clemson Aquatic Team
coaching staff with any questions.
