Assessment tests determine what group swimmer will be placed in. If swimmer cannot met minimal expectations, private lessons will be recommended. When a swimmer is assigned into a group, the coach of that group will continue to assess each swimmers growth and ability.

Groups:

• Tadpoles I and II
• Age Group I and II
• Senior Group

Promotions:

• Promotion to the next swimming group is strictly at the recommendation of the coach.
• Promotions into the higher groups will usually be done following the end of an assessment, during practice, or a meet. 
• Promotion into more advanced groups are determined by a variety of things;  physical ability, age, daily attendance, meet attendance, and emotional and mental maturity. Coaches will have the final say on whether a swimmer will advance. 
• Swimmers must carefully consider accepting promotions as each group comes with new requirements. Swimmers unable to commit to the requirements of the group should not accept the promotion

Swim Meets:
SWIM MEETS ARE FUN!!!!

• Swimmers that compete in meets and attend practice daily tend to see greater improvement more quickly than swimmers that do not. 
• Swimming in meets allow swimmers to set personal goals and see the product of their practices.
• Each meet builds the confidence.
• Swimming at meets creates an environment of team as we cheer on fellow swimmers and share in their accomplishments.Swimmers gain more personal time with coaches as meet strategies are discussed prior to events with feedback given at the end of the event.
• Awards are earned!

Other Reminders:

• Swimmers in each group need to stay the entire practice. If a swimmer must leave early, coaches need to be told at the beginning of practice, not when the swimmer is walking out of practice.
• Swimmers cannot move/change groups because the swimmer and/or parents wants to be in a different group. Swimmer must earn the right to move into a more advanced group. If a swimmer wants to be in a different group they must earn it.
• Swimmer assessment for groups is on-going.
• Remind swimmers to use the restroom BEFORE practice. Practice time is valuable, so do everything in your power to stay in the water the entire time.
• Ensure your swimmer is stretching before and after practice, that they are eating a well balanced diet and that they are hydrating before and after practice.
