Group move-ups will usually take place once per
year in the early fall. Families will be notified by the coaching
staff in July if their child will be moving to a new group. In
general, group move-ups will coincide with their grade in school as
follows:
Mini-Marlin
K-1
Developmental
2- 3
Black/ Red
4 – 5
Junior
6 – 7
Pre-senior
8 – 9
Varsity/ Senior 10 and
beyond (includes college age athletes)
Swimmers may be held in a group below their
grade level if the staff believes it is in the best interest of the
athlete. Athletes will not move beyond their grade level. For
instance, a talented 5th grader will not be promoted to
the junior group. All group moves will be determined by the
coaching staff.
