Red Swim Group

This group knows all four strokes, though their form still needs significant improvement. They are continuing to build strength and endurance. Though they may get tired and need longer rests, they are able to do some long swims. This is a great group for multi-sport athletes where swimming is not their primary sport because they are under less pressure to perform than the Black group. However, once they are consistently swimming 100 yds in under 1:30 off the wall, they will move up to Black group.

• Ages: 9-12


• Attendance: 3 per week, though attendance is not mandatory.


• Swimming requirements: strong knowledge of all 4 strokes, swim 100 yds off the wall in under 2:10, swim a total of 2200-3000 yrds in a 1:15 hour practice

• Main emphasis: improving all 4 strokes, refining flip turns, practicing dive-starts off the block, increasing comfort with competetion, building endurance, prioritizing form over speed, preparing for Black group
