Age Group

Group 1
This is a technique group, with emphasis on learning all four strokes legally and being introduced to the sport. Swimmers are typically 8-12 years old. These swimmers attend primarily Suburban League meets. Practice is offered three times per week. There is no attendance or meet participation policy, just encouragement when swimmers and parents are ready for a bigger commitment.

Group 2 Practice Schedule

Monday-Thursday at Eaglecrest                5:30-7:15 p.m

Group 2 Fees: $80/month; $33/month fundraising commitment   

Group 3

Group 3 swimmers practice four times per week and are primarily 10-12 year olds.  Swimmers have started to exhibit good swimming skills. They spend their time equally between stroke technique and training skills and processes, and they are beginning to develop their aerobic base with interval training and endurance work. Attendance is highly encouraged, with exceptions made for involvement in other sports and activities.  Most 10 and under  swimmers are female and have state or zone times in this group. We typically have 10 and under boys stay with group 2 unless they are at a really high level since developmentally they do not typically benefit from or enjoy this amount of swimming.  The eleven and twelve year olds will be working toward or have state times. These swimmers should be capable of swimming all races at meets at this point. Swimmers are expected to attend meets in this group to the highest level they qualify. Equipment- includes fins and pull buoys.
