Green Bay Swim Club offers training and practice groups for swimmers of all ages and ability levels. Coaches determine the level of each swimmer.
Swim Groups:

This group focuses on perfecting freestyle and backstroke technique along with mastering the basics of the butterfly and breaststroke. Consists of swimmers ages 5 and up. To join this group, the swimmer must be legal in freestyle and backstroke. Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards of both strokes.
White Group: The White Group is designed for swimmers who are focusing on stroke correction, race strategies, and building endurance through more intense swimming sets. This group emphasizes mastering the fundamentals of all four strokes, starts, and turns, while learning and applying the drills and swim sets used across all levels, including the use of intervals and pace clocks. Swimmers in the White Group are encouraged to attend at least 3 practices per week to build their endurance and technical proficiency. With a focus on fine-tuning technique and introducing longer sets, swimmers will be prepared to advance to higher groups.
Red Group: The Red Group is designed for advanced swimmers who are preparing for higher-level competition and future placement in the Black Group.
