Swim meets are optional for this group.

Coaches continue to work on developing a strong foundation in all 4 strokes, focusing on stroke technique, drills, kicking, starts and turns while also incorporating basic interval training, learning to read the clock, and building a bit of an endurance base as they prepare to move up to the 10&U white and yellow groups.

We recommend swimmers in this group attend at least 2-4 practices a week to achieve satisfactory progress. Practices usually run 45-60 minutes.

We strongly encourage swimmers in this group to compete in meets that are appropriate for their level.
