Junior Group

This year-round competitive training group is primarily for swimmers ages 11-14 who exceed the requirements of Age Group 2. Continued stroke refinement along with increased aerobic training will be stressed in this group. Racing strategies, goal setting, and accountability in the water will also serve an important role throughout the season. Swimmers in this group will be asked to commit to training at a high level. At this age, it is incredibly important to maintain a consistent work ethic at practice to ensure future success in the pool. 

• Five (5) to six (6) practices are offered each week plus two (2) dryland sessions; coaches recommend swimmers attend a minimum of five (5) practices per week.
• Swimmers are expected to compete monthly in meets including all championship meets.
• Required - IMR Achievement, IMX Achievement, 1650/1000 Freestyle events 

Athletes in the Junior Group are expected to attend ALL meets deemed appropriate by the Junior Group coach to assess progress (approximately 1-2 meets per month).
