Swim Team Groups & Descriptions

• Swimmers are tested and then assigned to specific practice groups based on their swimming abilities, endurance, practice attendance as well as where they are physically and mentally.

• The Head Coach is the only staff member that can move a swimmer to a different group and reserves the right to move a swimmer if they feel it's in their best interest. Parents are always welcome to contact the Head Coach to see what their swimmer needs to work on to take that next step. 

• Each swim group has its own requirement and if requirements aren’t reached, actions can be taken to address the issues.
