Iowa Flyers Swim Club
AGE GROUP 2
Practice days:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Practice Objectives: The suggested age for this group is 11-12 years old. Athletes will continue to master the five competitive strokes and race skills. Swimmers will work on proper technique and build endurance during their practice sessions. Swim meet competition is encouraged as a fun and positive part of the swimming experience. Coaches will help each swimmer set goal times appropriate to his or her current skill level, with personal improvement as the primary focus.
Please refer to the Team Calendar on our main page for practice times and locations.
Advancement: Please see the Performance, Character, Competence, Confidence, & Connection Metrics for JR1 or JR2:P . Our group progression is based on the AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT MODEL. Participation in most sanctioned swim meets each season is preferred for AG2.
