The Gold Group is a competitive program for swimmers who have been with a competitive year-round program.  At this level, refining technique is the number one priority while endurance training is introduced to the program.  Swimmers will be introduced to goal setting techniques to assist in reaching the highest potential of the athlete.  Some two-a-day practices may be available during winter and summer breaks.  The Gold Level swimmer must have a recommendation by a coach.

It is recommended swimmers attend 80% of the available practices.  Competition is an expectation at this level.
