RED TEAM
This group is
comprised of novice competitors generally six to eight years of
age. The emphasis in this group is to develop the fundamentals of
the four competitive strokes by means of short swimming sets,
drills and games. This creates an enjoyable atmosphere for
instruction.
BLUE TEAM
This group
is a transitional group in which swimmers move from primary stroke
instruction to beginning competitive training. This group of
swimmers can perform the four competitive strokes at a level that
allows for more endurance work. Emphasis here continues to be on
the instruction of the fundamentals and rules of competitive
swimming.
SILVER TEAM
This group is a
further transition into competitive training. Careful attention to
stroke and turn technique is given, but greater emphasis begins to
be placed on endurance and training correctly for upcoming events.
Swimmers at this level are usually well into the competitive phase
of their swimming. Swimmers move to this group once they
demonstrate the ability to swim at regular intervals required of
this group.

themselves.
SENIOR TEAM
