Gold

The Gold Group is our most advanced Elementary School Division group, designed for swimmers striving for higher levels of competition. Most swimmers in this group have achieved Divisional cuts and are aiming to compete at the Age Group State, and Zone levels. These swimmers are working on establishing the necessary practice and meet habits that will lead them to high levels of success.  

Practices

The Gold Group practices 5 times per week. While we recommend that swimmers in the Elementary School Division participate in multiple sports and activities, we encourage them to attend all practices offered to maximize both their progression and enjoyment of our team and sport. Swimmers are expected to maintain at least 50% practice attendance.

Meets

We encourage our swimmers in the Elementary School Division to dive into competition head first. Experience is the greatest teacher, and often, swimmers can learn much more about the sport and themselves at meets than they can at practice.  We recommend that swimmers attend as many meets as possible throughout the season. Additionally, swimmers are expected to compete in the highest championship meet for which they qualify. 

Training Equipment

Swimmers are expected to bring the following equipment to practice each day:

• Mesh Equipment Bag
• Water Bottle
• Kickboard
• Fins (Long Blade)
• Snorkel

Note that not all of this equipment is guaranteed to be used at every practice, but it can be used at any time so, ensure your swimmer has all the necessary equipment at every practice.
