Black Group
 
Swimmers have now reached the highest level in our age group progression.  With this opportunity comes increased responsibilities and expectations with their training.....practice attendance, swim meet participation, and swimmer/coach communication.  Swimmers, 12 to 14 year olds, will be training to acheive a higher aerobic and anaerobic capacity while continuing to refine their technical skills.
 
Our goal with the Black Group is to prepare swimmers for a smooth transition into our Senior Groups.
