This track offers a flexible option with shorter sessions, ideal for athletes exploring year-round swimming or seeking a smaller time commitment. It’s a great fit for swimmers involved in other sports or managing scheduling conflicts.
While swimmers of any age are welcome, this group is best suited for those with some prior swim team experience due to the abbreviated practice times. For brand new swimmers, we recommend starting with an Age Group practice.
While meet participation is not required, we encourage all swimmers to try at least one meet session during the season.
Age Group
This track is designed for swimmers of all levels and follows a structured progression focused on stroke technique and skill development. Swimmers will build and refine fundamental skills while also developing a strong aerobic base and learning basic racing strategies.
This is one of our most popular tracks. Sessions are one hour long and provide a well-rounded mix of technique, endurance, and speed training throughout the year.
While meet participation is not required, we encourage all swimmers to try at least one meet session during the season.
