Team Schedule During the school year the team practices three evenings a week, Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 5:30-7pm at the ASU pool in Plachy Hall. Beginning in May and through the course of June and July practice increases to five days a week to accomodate our main meet season. In May, June and July practices are from 5:30-7pm at the Splashland pool. All practices are not mandatory, but the more practices your athlete attends the better they will do overall in the sport. Many swimmers choose to participate in other sports as well, which is encouraged! We believe it is good for kids to be well rounded athletes! Meets During our main meet season in the months of June and July, our League has meets every weekend. All meets are optional to the swimmers, as they require some small additional fees. We travel all over the state for these competitions, and they are a lot of fun! Trying out for the Team If you think you are interested in joining our team, that's great! We take new additions at any time of the year! The skills required to enter into the Green Training Group are this: the swimmer needs to be able to swim a full length (25yards) of the pool front crawl properly without stopping, as well as the same distance for backstroke. Knowledge of breast stroke and butterfly are preferred, but we have no problem teaching those two strokes as long as the swimmer is able to correctly swim the front and back crawls. We allow all newcomers to participate in practices for one week free of charge to "get a feel" for what being on the team is like before making the full commitment. Fees Ski Hi Aquatics practices year round with the exception of the month of August and has a month to month registration. This means that at the beginning of every month participants renew their membership. The monthly dues to the team are $80 per swimmer. This covers paying our coaches, our pool rental fees, insurance, and other monthly fees we incur as a team. The first time you register, there is an additional USA Swimming Fee of $35 to get your swimmer into the USA Swimming database and active in their systems. This is a seasonal fee that all swimmers are required to pay at the beginning of every season. MASTERS SWIMMING Our Masters team is for swimmers ages 18 and up who want to continue their swimming career in meets, get in shape for fitness or triathlons, or just learn to improve their swimming abilities. Coaches will be available with workouts and technique help on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7-8:30pm. There is a monthly fee of $60 to join the team, or a drop in rate of $5 if you can only make a few practices. Swimmers are also required to register with USMS (United States Masters Swimming) with a yearly fee of $60. Masters practices for the summer are moving to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 6-7am at the Adams State pool. |
