Silver
The silver group is our Intermediate Group with a focus on mastering all four strokes, and
learning the terminology of swimming both in practice and at meets. Practices begin to
involve a little more “training,” as they increase to 60 minutes in length. The goal of this
group is to appropriately bridge a Beginner level swimmer to a swimmer who wants to
compete at USA Sanctioned Swim Meets (a little more competitive). Fun and
friendships are still integral focal points of this group.
