Practice groups generally match these competitive age groups, but sometimes when we have one or more particularly large age groups additional pool time will be allotted and the group(s) split by skill level and experience. Swimmers are expected to practice with their assigned group -- any exceptions must be approved by the Head Coach. Coaches may also place a swimmer in a different age group at their discretion. 6 & unders should be able to swim freestyle with side breathing and swim the backstroke for 25 yards.
SUMMER SWIM WORKOUTS: During summer we have 5 age group practices corresponding to the age groups above, with all 13 and older swimmers in one group. The first practice of the day is at 8am for the oldest age group, 13 and up and ends with the youngest group, 6 and under. Afternoon supplemental practices are available for an additional fee.
SUMMER DRYLAND WORKOUTS: Starting in mid-June, dryland workouts will be held every Tuesday and Thursday throughout the summer. These 30 minute out of the water workouts are a great way to increase flexibility and cardio fitness in a dry setting! Please encourage your swimmers to attend these workouts and bring tennis shoes.
MINI STINGERS (SUMMER ONLY):
Our Mini Stinger program is aimed at beginning swimmers (generally under 6 years old) who are not yet able to participate in our Age Group workouts. Our minis will develop basic skills, participate in social activities, and have their own Park Mini Meet. Mini Stinger workouts begin after the rest of the swim team during the summer session only. Summer practices are held 4 days per week (M, T, TH, FR—no Wednesday practice) typically between 11:00 - 1 pm and 330 -5 pm. There are no pre- post-summer season workouts for Mini-Stingers. When appropriate your Mini will be encouraged to move up to the Age Group workouts and begin swimming in competitive meets.
