High School Training Group
The high school training group was formed to give high school aged swimmers (13 and Up) an opportunity to develop strong technical foundations, great training habits, and race strategies without the senior level swimmer requirements. Practices are held four times a week for an hour. Come as much or as little as you like but the coach will give recommendations based on the swimmers goals. See flyer for more information.
