Swim  and Dive Team Practice Groups:

Shark Bites 

Is your young swimmer not quite ready for the rigor and commitment of the 8 & Under group? Shark Bites is designed for kids who want to find out what swim team is all about.  We have had a few Shark Bites who were younger than 4, but most are about 4-6 years old. 

 

They will practice three days per week for 45 minutes, often in the shallow end of the pool. Shark Bites can transition to 8&Unders at any time during the season if they feel they are ready to move up, and Shark Bites can swim in any of our swim meets, but meets are not required (although we hope they will swim 3 meets so they can swim at All-City).

Shark Bites are full members of our the Seminole Swim & Dive Team! This includes chocolate milk and donuts too! 

To join this group, the athlete needs to be able to swim one width of the shallow area without stopping and not touching the bottom of the pool.

The cost to join Shark Bites is the same as our other swim groups, as this group is staffed with experienced members of our regular coaching staff. This will also allow swimmers to move up to 8& Under easily.

We encourage all swim team members to complete all levels of swim lessons, even if they join swim team. Swim team is not lessons, and our coaches are not able to offer individual instruction at the level offered in lessons. Lessons do not have to be completed before joining swim team.

 

8 & Unders

 

 

To join this group an athlete needs to be able to swim one length of the pool with  without stopping.

We encourage our 8 & Under swimmers to also sign up for  swim lessons in order to work on their stroke technique.  8 & Unders compete in all 4 strokes at the 25 yard distance. (Or 26.5 m at Seminole!)  

 

9 - 10 Age Group


  

 

Athletes in this group focus on learning the four legal competitive strokes, and perfecting starts and turns.  The 9-10 year olds compete at the 50 meter distance. 

 

 

11 - 12 Age Group

 Athletes in this group continue to work on their stroke technique, building endurance, and starts and turns. They also have 50 meter races. 

.    
 

 

13 & Ups
This group consists of two age groups:  The 13 - 14 year olds and the 15 & over.  Athletes in this group continue to work on their stroke technique, building endurance, and starts and turns.  The 13-14s compete at the 100 meter distance, except for fly, which is still 50 meters.  At 15 and over, they compete at 100 meter distance, and can choose either a 50 or 100 meter fly.

   
    


          

Dive Team Practice Groups:

12 & Under
To join this group a diver needs to have taken dive lessons and can complete 3 basic dives with an approach.  In addition, they need to be able to listen and follow directions.  

13 & Up

This group of athletes will continue to build upon the dives that they have learned as well as learning new dives.
