To simplify which group your swimmer will be in, here are some basic guidelines. If you are unsure of what group your swimmer should be in or have special requirements (kids in a family that all need to end practice at the same time – we’re all parents, we get it!), please reach out to one of the NLY Swim Coaches and we can help you sign up for the right group.
