Thank you for your interest in the Novi Sturgeons!  We look forward to meeting your swimmer!

The Novi Sturgeons Swim Team participates at the Novi Athletic Club pool. The 2023-24 Sturgeons schedule gives all our swimmers the best training plan in the Michigan area.  It is a huge benefit to train at a facility that is only closed two days per year which has allowed us to create the optimal calendar for swimmers to peak at the perfect time. Dry-land training is offered to our upper level swim groups in our fitness area and led by a swim coach/certified trainer.

The Sturgeons are a year round competitive swim team for children ages 5 to 18. The team is organized into five groups based on age and swim ability. Practices are held in the afternoon, evening and weekends during the school year and move to the morning hours in the summer. Practice time commitment ranges from the entry level group which swims two days per week for 45 minutes each practice while our top group practice schedule includes seven swim practices per week along with two days of dry-land training. In addition to our practice schedule, our athletes participate in USA sanctioned swim meets where they compete with other swim clubs in the local area, region and nation.

Entry level competitive swimmer between the ages of 5 - 10:  Swims two lengths (50 meters) of freestyle with rhythmic breathing without stopping, has knowledge of the other three strokes...backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly, must know the breaststroke kick and keeps pace with the assigned group.

            Swimmer with swim team experience between the ages of 10 - 12: Swims 8 lengths of freestyle without stopping. Can swim all strokes legally with appropriate turns. Keeps pace with assigned group.

            Swimmer with swim team experience between the ages of 13 - 18: Swims all four strokes, knows starts and turns, can train up to 2 hours for approximately a  5000 meter workout

**If your swimmer cannot swim at least 50 meters without stopping, then they should not attend tryouts, but should instead register for our lesson program.

Our team is currently full. We may have some space open up for our summer session. However, we are always willing to put any child on our waiting list who meets the prerequisites for their age. Please call 248-735-8850 ext 112 with with your child's name, age, and parents' contact information.
