2023-2024 Central Vermont Swim Club Group Information *Information last updated 10/09/2023

The Central Vermont Swim Club offers training and practice groups for swimmers of all ages and ability levels. It is the goal of the Central Vermont Swim Club to offer age-specific training for all of our athletes geared towards challenging each individual and developing each individual to the best of THEIR abilities.
 

Practices at Northern Vermont University at Johnson will begin on Monday, October 30, 2023.

New this year:

- The CVSC prices include the USA Swimming registration fee that was paid individually by families last year. This year the team will register returning swimmers.
- VSU-Johnson will be offering 2 sessions plus a full competitive winter season.

- Norwich GOLD team and Full Season Competitive Johnson swimmers will have Friday practice options and two themed Sunday practices. See the practice calendar for specific dates and location details.
 

Swim gear, team suits, and team logo gear are available on our affiliate site with Swim Outlet.  It can be found on www.SwimOutlet.com/CentralVermontSwimClub.

 

All swimmers will need to bring a water bottle and goggles and wear an athletic swimsuit that allows for full body movement. The team provides one swim cap each season.
 

Swimmers will be divided into the following groups. 
 

Coaches have the discretion to change group levels as they deem appropriate for individual athletes.  If coaches feel your swimmer would benefit from being in a different group, they will both speak with the athlete and the caregivers.  If caregivers feel this is not a sound decision and/or have concerns after a conversation with the swimmer’s coach, please contact the head coach for further discussion.
