SILVER II GROUP

Typical Age: 11 and Under

Practice Days: Mon – Sat (3 – 4 practices per week are  recommended)

Practice Times: 3:45-5:15p (M-F) & 9:00-10:30a (Sat)

Expectations: With the increase in yardage, maturity and respect for coaches and fellow swimmers is a must.  Swimmers are expected to arrive on time with equipment ready and water bottles filled. Swimmers should be somewhat proficient in free and back but have the ability to swim all four strokes to some degree.

Practice Focus and Meets: Drill work is still emphasized along with whole swimming while introducing different aspects of competing including racing, starts, turns and finishes.  Introducing a local or out-of-town meet to the athlete is recommended at this level but is always optional.
