Blue Group [Age Group Advanced] (typically 10-14): The blue group is a training/conditioning group for age group swimmers. Technique development will still be a priority but there will be a much stronger emphasis on conditioning, race strategy, and mental preparation. Blue group will continue to develop flexibility and dryland exercises with a higher degree of intensity. This group has a pre-requisite test set that must be completed before being allowed to join.

• No practice attendance requirements, however, with the conditioning element involved in this group, swimmers will have trouble keeping up if they are not regularly attending practices (i.e. minimum of 4 per week).

• 12.25 hours of practice time offered per week (See Schedule).
