Ages 9-10: Our athletes in this group will focus on swimming all four competitive strokes efficiently and legally. They all work toward swimming a legal 100 individual medley within the season. They compete in 50 yard events of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle as well as 100 freestyle, 100 IM and team relays. They will be working to build endurance, perfecting their stroke technique, starts and turns. Having fun together is also a priority. Ages 11-12: Our athletes will be building up their training endurance. They compete in 50 yard events of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle as well as 100 freestyle, 100 IM and team relays. Their practices will also include technique work to improve their strokes, turns and racing starts. They will be placed in groups by ability and all will work toward efficiently swimming 100 IM. Ages 13-14 & 15+: The 13-14 and 15+ age groups train together and are grouped by ability. They also compete in 50 yard events of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle as well as 100 freestyle, 100 IM and team relays. Athletes entering this group must display a desire to begin training on a more committed basis. Training will have a greater emphasis over technique work for the first time in the swimmer's development. However, we will continue to work technique building into our sets.
