18 /lombardparks SWIM & DIVE TEAM SWIM TEAM The Lombard Park District Waves Swim Team offers training and practice groups for swimmers of all ages and ability levels. The goal of the Lombard Waves is to offer age specific training geared towards challenging each individual and developing each individual to the best of their abilities. Contact coach Pam Forsberg at Lowaves.coaches@gmail.com for questions. Coach: Pam Forsberg Practice Location: Paradise Bay Water Park SWIMMER TEST/TRYOUTS: All new swimmers 10 and under will be required to undergo an evaluation before the season starts by the Waves coaching staff. Swimmers that do not prove basic competency in competitive swimming will have an option to receive a refund of their registration fee or to credit it towards classes in the Lombard Swim School. Being able to swim 25 yards freestyle and 25 yards backstroke is requested. AGE GROUPS Ages 8 & Under: Swimmers should be able to swim one length of the pool freestyle and backstroke. They compete in 25 yard events of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle as well as 50 freestyle and team relays. They will focus on building proper technique in backstroke and freestyle and learning all four strokes along with dives and flip-turns. Our more advanced 8 year olds will also be pushed to learn a legal individual medley as well as building on their endurance. Each 8 & under will be paired with a Waves Swim Buddy. Ages 9-10: Swimmers 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: Swimmers 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, they will continue to work technique building into our sets. They will write goals, play games and each swimmer will be given a Waves Swim Buddy to support and cheer for at meets.
