The mission of the National Youth Team is to identify the top swimmers in the United States ages 13-18 and support their development and preparation to eventually represent the United States in the Olympic Games. The National Youth Team supports youth coaches, conducts programs, and provides competitive opportunities that give the top young swimmers a chance to experience the demands of competitive swimming on a national level."
