Summer Training Program
All Machine swimmers are invited to participate in the summer training program. Swimmers in the Gears and Senior 2 Day, Gears and Senior 3 Day and High School Prep Programs will need to register to participate.
Practices for most groups will begin on May 28 and finish in late July as we conclude the training for the summer meets.
Schedules are provided by location and all registrations must be approved by the coaches. The schedule will include the practice time prior to the end of school and after school releases for the summer. Schedules can not be modified or customized due to space and staffing requirements.
Pricing for the summer is based on the number of workouts each week.
Swimmers in the High Performance, Senior Elite, National Prep and National Groups WILL NOT need to register for the summer training. This is included in your fees for the 11 month programs. Coach will be sending out your assigned schedules for the summer training.
Registration for 2024-25 Season
Registration will open for Machine families MID-MAY. This is a priority registration period for our existing members. We will open to new families in early June. So it is important that you register early to reserve your space in the program.
Your coaches will be reaching out to you directly with group recommendations for next season. As you review the recommendations, we encourage you to talk with your children about their goals and priorities for swimming in the coming year. Your coaches are available to meet with you about their recommendations and share their observations from the current year.
We will be sending a link for registration to all team members when we open. Registration Links, schedules and pricing will also be posted on the Machine Aquatics website and Team Unify.
