Life Time Michigan 

Our team is a year-round competitive USA Swimming team offering high quality, professional coaching and technique instruction for all ages and abilities. The goal of our team is to promote a lifetime of wellness through the sport of swimming in a safe and inclusive environment. 

Life Time Michigan is a COMPETITIVE swimming program serving Bloomfield Hills, Canton, Commerce, Novi, Rochester, Troy, and Shelby communities.  As a program, we are rapidly growing. Our team goal is to become more competitive as a team not only within the state of Michigan but within the Midwest and in our Nation.  In order to move our TEAM forward, the Life Time Michigan Coaching Staff has identified a need for consistent racing over the course of each season.  Swim meets provide our athletes the opportunity to receive feedback on skills they have learned in practice, as well as providing the athlete the opportunity to set and achieve goals! The majority of our meets wil be within one hour of one of our facilities.  A full schedule of meets will be provided to all families in early in each season Short Course (Sept-March) and again in Long Course (April-July), with a variety of opportunities for our athletes to race! 

In order to address the need for consistent racing within our organization, we will be implementing a MEET REQUIREMENT for each training group.  Please see the requirements below:

Developmental 1: One Home Meet per season and any USA Swimming Meet as directed by the program and your coach.
Developmental 2: Two Home Meets per season and any USA Swimming Meet as directed by the program and your coach.
Bronze: All Home Meets per season and any USA Swimming Meet as directed by the program and your coach.
Silver: Minimum attendance of 75% of the meets that are available per season. 
Gold: Minimum attendance of 80% of the meets that are available per season. 
Senior: Minimum attendance of 90% of the meets that are available per season. 

Additionally, every athlete will be expected to attend their designated season-ending Championship Meet. At the end of the Short Course season, the order of championship meets is Regionals, MAGS, Ultra, and Sectionals. At the end of the Long Course Season, the order will be MAGS, Ultra, Sectionals, Futures, Jr Nationals, and SR Nationals.
 

To support the direction of our program attending meets, Life Time will not offer practices on days when a meet is available as our coaches will be attending meets with our swimmers.


We appreciate everyone’s commitment to following the above requirements for this season.  Should your family have an issue fulfilling your requirement for a specific month, please notify your facility's Head Site coach. We want to see your child succeed!  Please join us by making the commitment to support your athlete’s chosen sport!
