Tier 1A
This group is structured for those senior swimmers with a background and understanding of swimming between the ages of 15-18. T1A is designed for those swimmers who want to continue building on the competitive aspects of training/competing and maintaining personal fitness through the sport of competitive swimming. Schedule allows athletes within the program the flexibility to pursue other sports and school priorities or swimming more recreationally for fitness.
Tier 1A is less training, a transitional group between T2 and T1 for student athletes, and used as an appropriate group for older athlete ability level to still train with their peer group.
