Training Groups

All training will take place Monday – Friday between the hours of 3:20 pm and 6:00 pm. Saturday practice times will vary. Our practice times are a very big advantage compared to most teams in Palm Beach County. This will allow our members the opportunity to play another sport, eat dinner with their family, study at an appropriate time and go to bed at a reasonable hour.

Our swim groups are organized according to age and ability. The assignment of a swimmer to a group is the decision of the coaching staff. Once a swimmer has shown the proficiency needed to move to the next group, he/she will advance.
