SWIM GROUPS

HIGH PERFORMANCE

The Mississauga Aquatic Club’s High-Performance Swim Program is a fully integrated and supported national leading program.  The goal of the program is to provide the coaching, tools, education and support that will allow our athletes to evolve into university and international high-performance swimmers. Girls 14 and up and Boys 15 and over are eligible to be invited into this squad.

JUNIOR NATIONAL GROUP

This group is primarily focused on competing at the Canadian Junior National Championships and Eastern Canadian Championships.  Training is structured around the Train to Compete area of Long Term Athlete Development.  As with the High Performance Group, attendance and commitment must remain high to swim in this group and swimming is the sport priority of all athletes.  Girls 13 and up and Boys 14 and up are eligible to be invited into this squad. 

HIGH PERFORMANCE AGE GROUP

This group is primarily focused on competing at the Ontario Provincial Championships.  This group is generally focused on qualifying for and competing at the Provincial levels while at the same time working to attain national standards such as Eastern Canadian Championships and Canadian Junior National qualifying times. Swimmers in this group will still spend a great deal of training time consolidating and refining their strokes and skills; at the same time increasing fitness and endurance. Dryland conditioning will also be a key element.  Girls 11-13 and Boys 12-14 are eligible to be invited into this squad.

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT GROUP

This group is for swimmers 13 and over that are working on consolidating skills and building their fitness. This group will be working on qualifying for and competing at the Regional Championships. The volume of training is not as much and allows for the athlete to participate in other sports and activities.

BLUE GROUP

These are 12 and under squads. These squads are committed to a more intensive training program with an eye on qualifying and competing at the Ontario Festival Championships.

ORANGE GROUP

These are primarily 12 and under swimmers focused on qualifying and competing at the local level while trying to qualify for the Central Region Championship level. 

WHITE GROUP

These groups of 10 & under swimmers are generally focused on developing excellent technical skills, improving aerobic fitness and developing body awareness and coordination. These swimmers will have a program designed to enhance their chance of a successful and lengthy swimming career. Competitions will be on the local and Regional levels however emphasis from the coaches will be on skill acquisition and fitness as much as meet performance. They swim 3 times each week and take part in local competitions throughout the year.

WAVE PROGRAM

The Wave Program is a great introduction to competitive swimming.  Wave teaches the fundamentals of the 4 competitive swimming strokes and their respective turns as well as introduces swimmers to the competitive side of this sport.  There are two different Wave programs.  Wave 1 has one practice a week for 10 week sessions.  They do not compete and focus on technique, stroke and skills development.  Wave 2 has two practices a week for the the entire season (60 classes).  Wave 2 competes in novice swim meets to test out their new skills. 

Both programs have certified coaches and trained instructors.  These programs are fantastic for those needing more than just swimming lessons.  Swimmers should be able to swim 25m independently.  

Call us for a tryout and we will place your swimmer in the appropriate program for their skills.  We would be happy to develop your child into a strong, confident swimmer!
