Members of this group have mastered strokes, turns, and starts in all four strokes and have started to swim a robust group of events in sanctioned competitions. The focus on this group will be on continued stroke improvement, race strategy, proper training techniques and conditioning and the introduction of longer races. The primary age group is 11 & 12. Six practices are offered per week with a recommended minimum of 4-5 practices per week. For advancement to Blue Group, 4 practices per week are strongly recommended.

PRACTICE DAYS

Monday-Friday and Saturday.
 

PRACTICE OBJECTIVES AND STANDARDS

In this group, we ask for an increased level of commitment, which is an average of 4- 5 practices per week. The swimmer will work on proper technique and will begin to build endurance. Coaches will help each swimmer set goals appropriate to his or her current skill level, with personal improvement as the primary focus. Participation in meets at the highest level of qualification is expected.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Falcons team cap at practice during the week. Saturdays are reserved for caps of the athletes' choice. Well-fitting suit (such as jammers for boys and 1-piece for girls), cap, goggles, long fins, kickboard, snorkel, full water bottle and mesh bag. 
 

ADVANCEMENT

Swimmers may advance to the Blue and Junior groups from White Group. In addition to the coach's discretion, swimmers' placement will be determined by a variety of measures including attendance, ability to hold intervals and read the clock, and where they would fall in the next group.  We always want advancement to place a promoted swimmer squarely in the middle of the next group.
