Silver

The Silver Group is our intermediate group in the Elementary School Division. Swimmers are focused on getting ready for championship-level meets. Most swimmers in this group are nearing qualification, or have qualified for Divisionals. These swimmers are working on initiating the steps necessary to begin competing at higher levels.

Practices

The Silver Group practices 4 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 in the Silver Group 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.
