Sat Sept 9th 11-12pm

Returning swimmers do not need to tryout.

Fall swim team starts back Monday Sept 11th, with the annual Senior Meeting / Scavenger Hunt on Friday Sept 8th. Click HERE for the Fall swim team schedule / rates and HERE for the new group descriptions and HERE for the group placements. We decide group placements based on many different factors including: grade level, age, peer groups, maturity: both physically and mentally, ability to handle the work load, technique, commitment level and aerobic ability. Speed very rarely factors into group placement.

We have a few exciting changes for the fall. First being that our Senior White group is being split in two with a new higher level group of the team being created Senior Black. This will allow for an easier transition from Senior Green to Senior White as well as a more focused practices for those ability levels. Senior Black swimmers will also be outfitted with Recovery trackers (Whoop wrist bands), which will help create individual training plans for these highly dedicated group of swimmers. Also each group of the team starting with AG Green will have one combined practice up a practice group and one combined practice down a practice group. This will help to challenge swimmers getting close to moving up groups as well as help create and maintain peer connections between groups of the team. 

Next we are excited to announce that we will be partnering this fall with Swim Strong Dryland. They will be working with our coaches to create a dynamic swim specific focused dryland program that goes along with our swim team's season plan. Their program in addition to dryland, includes injury prevention, nutrition, leadership and sports psychology. All groups in Mini White and above will be participating in this program. We are excited about this partnership and know it will help elevate our team to the next level.

All returning swimmers jot form registrations are due back Thursday Aug 3rd. It is imperative I receive the forms back on time as the following week we run tryouts for new swimmers and then I am on vacation from Thur Aug 17th- Wed Sept 6th. If your swimmer for whatever reason does not plan to return to swim team this fall please let me know.
