Swim Team

This program is designed to allow swimmers to compete on an international level while maintaining the highest level of academic excellence. It is aimed at New England Senior Qualifiers and higher in three or more events and is subject to the head coach’s approval. All swimmers must meet the highest level of excellence in training, academics, in the pool, and as a person. It is a life-changing program that will teach life skills to all involved.

These swimmers will travel for 40 – 60 days around different parts of the world. They will compete, study and learn about all aspects of life and competition. If grades suffer as a result, the swimmer will be ineligible to travel with the squad and will be moved to the next group. This program offers the swimmer the experience of traveling and competing around the world that normally only a select few swimmers ever get to experience. We will have a private teacher, two coaches and two managers for each of these trips. This program will be largely funded by sponsorship and fundraising.

This group is for our National swimmers, New England 13 years and older qualifiers, and those who cannot travel with the international team. This group will travel throughout New England as well as across country both competing and training. You must have at least three New England Qualifying times 13 years and over and close to or qualified for New England Seniors. Requirements for this group include training attendance, grade point average, and coaches’ discretion.

This program is designed to prepare swimmers and qualify swimmers for New England Seniors. Emphasis is placed on stroke correction and technique as well as natural body strength. Attendance and attitude are key factors that determine advancement into the Rockstar program. Each swimmer in this group should have at lease one New England qualifying time for 13 years and over or be close to qualifying. In this group, we start pushing attendance to better advance the swimmers, especially if the swimmers aspire to swim at the college level.

This group is for 12 years and under swimmers who have been exposed to competition and training. Each swimmer would be a 12 and under New England qualifier or close to qualifying and 13 years and over non-New England qualifiers. We ask that the swimmers try to attend as many training sessions as possible. Each member should be a USS registered club member at this point. Stroke technique and race skills are the main focuses of this group. Swimmers will learn the different aspects of racing.

This group is our developmental group were we aim to develop each swimmer into a competitive swimmer who will learn to swim with great technique. The emphasis is on fun, stroke efficiency, and technique. There is not a big emphasis on racing at this point until the swimmers develop.

FUN FUN FUN! This is the stoke-correction, stroke-development and endurance-building group. This program will teach all elements of all four strokes, dive starts, turns, underwater swimming and endurance training. It will prepare swimmers for the next level. Swimmers must be able to swim all four strokes before entering this group.

FUN FUN FUN! This is our Pre Squad! These swimmers must be able to swim at least two laps of freestyle without stopping, two laps of backstroke without stopping and have knowledge of both butterfly and breaststroke. This group will get swimmers ready for our squads, and will run for 30 minutes every 30 minutes with 10 swimmers per session.
