Updates on Group Placement
Over the past month, we’ve had the opportunity to speak with many parents and athletes about group placements. We truly appreciate your ongoing communication and commitment to your swimmer’s progress.
To help clarify the process, we’d like to reshare our training group descriptions and placement requirements, which are always available on our website:
🔗 Group Descriptions & Requirements
Group placements are reviewed and made throughout the year as swimmers meet the necessary criteria and are assessed as ready by the coaching staff. While we use the group descriptions as a guide, final placement decisions are made at the discretion of the coaching staff, with the swimmer’s development and best interests in mind.
As a growing and developing team, our swimmers are progressing quickly. Because of this, group requirements may be adjusted slightly from time to time to ensure all athletes are in the most appropriate and supportive training environment.
Thank you for your trust and support. If you have any questions about your swimmer’s current placement or progress, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Tentative Summer Schedule- Starting Monday, June 16th
*Note: Some Silver swimmers may be invited to morning workouts on Tuesdays and Thursdays
