Each swim season offers a variety of events and distances depending upon the age of a swimmer. Age grouping is determined on a swimmers age as of July 1st of that season. The swimmer will stay in that age group for the summer. 

Each swimmer can swim various numbers of events at the summer meets. Each hosting team will determine the number of swims a swimmer participates in. Relay participation will depend on the swimmer?s best times and coach?s discretion. The events the children will compete in will be determined by their coach after considering the following:

·  A child?s ability and times

·  The needs of the team, and the availability of the swimmer to swim certain events.

·  The head coach will decide what is in the best interest of the team

PRACTICES:

 In order for every child to get the most out of the team experience, the coaching staff will be evaluating all swimmers, and will place them in one of the three practice groups. 

· Silver: For our least experienced swimmers. Refinement of strokes will be worked on while endurance will be perused. Swimmers will closely focus on freestyle with rhythmic breathing, backstroke, racing starts, open and flip turns.

· Gold: For our moderate swimmers. Swimmers will work on refining strokes. Swimmers in this group will practice legal execution of freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. Swimmers will also practice their starts and turns as well as gain an introduction to butterfly.

· Elite: This practice group will further a swimmers skill mastery of all four competitive strokes, starts, and turns. There will be a strong focus on endurance training. In order to be in this practice group a swimmer must be able to independently swim a minimum of 3000 yards a day.

Please do not approach the coach for discussion during practice or at a swim meet. The coach will meet with any parent after the scheduled practices, or prior to/after the swim meet to address individual questions or concerns before our first practice.

 PRACTICE SCHEDULE:

Group placement: In order to have the most effective practices before our first meet, all swimmers will be tested and evaluated. Please have your child attend one of the following ?test? dates before our first practice.
