GROUP DESCRIPTION

Please note these are just a general description of the groups and the groups are decided by the head coach. 

 

Red Group: This group consists of our oldest swimmers and typically has swimmers from ages 12-18 years old. This group consists of athletes that have a commitment and ability to train at a higher level. Swimmers are working towards individual goals from the season. This group will focus on advanced stroke techniques, increased training volume, and being the role models for the younger swimmers on our team. 

 

White Group: This group consists of swimmers anywhere from 9-13 years old. Swimmers in this group are typically a combination of swimmers who have experience with competitive swimming and swimmers who may be new to the sport. This group will focus on an introduction to stroke techniques and dryland exercises.

Black Group: This group will only consist of 8 and under swimmers. This group is for swimmers who compete 25's at swim meets. This group will focus on teaching swimmers the four strokes while also having fun. Swimmers must be able to complete a 25 freestyle independently to be in this group.

 

ATTENDANCE

  • All swimmers must attend practice the day of the meet to swim in that night’s meet.
  • All swimmers must attend a minimum of 3 days of practice (includes the day of meet) each week.
  • Swimmers with attendance of less than 60% will only swim one event (relay of individual).
  • Extended absence (2 days or more) must be accompanied by a note stating time to be missed and the reason. 
  • Swimmers participating on other summer teams must attend the equivalent of the minimum of 3 days of practice with either or both teams. Swimmers practicing with YMCA or USA teams are asked to make every effort to attend the Lakota Hills practice on meet days. If this is not possible, these swimmers can still compete in the Lakota Hills meet provided they have practiced that day with their club team, and the Lakota Hills coaches are notified prior to the meet day. 

 

PRACTICE CANCELLATION

  • Practice will continue during the rain.
  • Practice will NOT continue in water during thunder, lightning, or heavy rain with strong winds.
  • Practice will NOT be held if temperature falls below 55 degrees.
  • If weather conditions are questionable, an email will be sent out regarding the status of practice.

 

PARENTS

  • Parents are welcome to watch practice but are requested to observe from the pavilion. Parents are also requested to refrain from speaking with the coaches during practice, as this takes their attention away from the children. If you wish to discuss your child’s progress, etc., please schedule a time to meet with one of the coaches and they will be happy to talk to you. During practice it is important that they focus on coaching your children.​
  • Parents must refrain from speaking with officials and coaches during meets. Swimmers will get information from the coaches. If you have questions/concerns about DQs (disqualifications), please wait to talk to the coaches after the meet.
