"Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome."

-Arthur Ashe

Eclipse is our high performance group for athletes from 11 to 14 years old. This group is for athletes who represent FRST at the State, Zone, and Junior National levels. Eclipse provides the most rigor and accountability of any FRST age group.

Athletes from this group are expected to be highly committed to their swimming success and serve as examples for their teammates and peers. They are offered challenges and opportunities that will stretch their capabilities, teaching them to be resilient in the face of adversity and failure, tough under pressure, focused on the efforts which will contribute the most to their success and happiness, and supportive of their teammates, families, and all those for whom they can be a positive influence. Members of Eclipse often go on to see great success in high school and college as a part of FRST and beyond.

This group uses every tool at their disposal to relentlessly pursue excellence on a daily basis. Members of Eclipse have access to all the resources and expertise required to be national-level competitors.

At this level, we believe that swimming is a means and a metric to help each athlete learn the physical, mental, and emotional skills required to be successful in the pool, in their academics, and in life.
