Practice Groups
Our team is divided into practice groups. This allows to train each athlete at his or her own level alongside peers of similar age and ability. The following table explains how our groups are constructed. Please remember that athlete group assignments are solely determined by the coaching staff and are never automatic (e.g. turning a certain age or attaining a certain time). The coaches take into account meet and practice performance, physical and social maturity, age, commitment, attendance, and overall preparedness for the next group before promoting a swimmer.
Please see our Practice Schedule page for the current schedule for all groups.
