SUSA's Year-Round Competitive Team is designed to help swimmers achieve the highest level of swimming they wish to achieve -- whether it be National, Collegiate, Age Group or High School. We build onto our summer program, teaching advanced stroke technique, employing advanced training methods and introducing swimmers to the USA-Swimming level of competition (the governing body for the US).
Practice Groups
We have two "tracks" to better serve our members' needs: Developmental and High Performance. Developmental groups (Explorer 1 and 2) swim two-three times per week for 90 minutes. High Performance groups (Adventure thru National Development) train 5 or more times per week and have optional travel meets.
Swimmers typically start with a tryout. Participants in our Summer Team, however, are recommended to a group by their Summer Team coaches without needing a separate tryout. If you'd like to schedule a tryout, contact Garrett at 435-817-1532 or Dani at 435-669-6093.
Not every group practices at every location, but our Explorer groups train at every location.
Meets
We generally offer at least one meet every month. Most are in the immediate area -- St. George and Cedar.
For our High Performance athletes, we do offer occasional travel meets. Because our team is a member of Utah Swim Committee, State Championship meets are generally held in Salt Lake area. National Development group travels farther to their highest level meets.
Monthly Fees
After registration fees, dues are charged monthly. Dues differ by practice group and location, so your coaches will discuss the fees at the tryout based on which group your child will be in. Dues range from about $80 per month up to around $120 for the Nat-D group.
After you create your login to the main Team site, you also have access to the parent handbook, which includes detailed information about SUSA's Billing Procedures.
