This group will primarily be ages 10-13 and these athletes should demonstrate a strong

foundation of knowledge of the training process, including common vocabulary. Athletes

joining this group must demonstrate the ability to keep up with the current Silver group

swimmers. These athletes should understand stroke technique and demonstrate the ability to

make changes over time. This group will focus on swimming 100’s with proficiency and speed,

while developing endurance for 200’s. We expect this group to show a strong commitment to

attending at least 4 swim meets a year, understand goal setting and how the training process

links those goals to their outcomes. Swimmers in this group should start to develop leadership

skills as demonstrated by teammate support, team support and team identity. Athletes should

target Age Group State, Sr State, and above time standards.
