AGIII represents the highest level of Age Group training at YFD. It is designed for swimmers 11-13 years of age who have shown a high level of commitment as well as a mastery of all four strokes. Swimmers in this group must meet all practice and meet commitments. Focus will be on aerobic training and race-pace work.
