TRAINING GROUP DESCRIPTIONS AND REGISTRATION

Swimming development is unique to each athlete and is not solely age-based. Our groups provide a framework for placement. Coaches will make group placements with the athlete’s best interests in mind. This approach allows us to tailor training to each swimmer's needs.


We offer two training groups on our competitive team:


  • Age Group - is for elementary and middle school athletes ages 5 to 13 who can swim all four competitive strokes — backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle. Meets are encouraged to track progress and foster team bonding.


  • B-Team - is our most senior group available to high school athletes, ninth grade and up, who can swim all four competitive strokes — backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle. This program is ideal for athletes looking to stay in top shape, prepare for high school swimming and water polo, or compete at USA Swim Meets.

All swim team members are required to register for USA Swimming. Please register here: USA Swimming Registration
