Junior Marlins

This practice is designed for swimmers 5 and older. Swimmers must be able to comfortably swim 25 yards. This is a great introduction to swim team where our young swimmers learn a more efficient stroke while working in group. This group has only 2 practices per week, Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. Competition at home meets is optional, no away meets. The class is limited to 20 swimmers.

Group

1

This practice is designed for swimmers 6 and older. Swimmers must be able to comfortably swim 50 yards and kick 100 yards. This is a great transition from swimming lessons to swim team where young swimmers focus on swimming skills and the basics of swimming etiquette while having fun. Although competition is an option for everyone on the team, we believe in a gradual approach to this skill and therefore work with each individual to decide when they are ready. To get the most out of your child’s involvement with the team, we recommend a minimum of 2 practices per week.

Group

2

This practice is designed to offer technique work on the four competitive strokes, starts and turns. The emphasis is placed on learning all strokes and working together as a team. While continuing to perfect stroke techniques, the stronger swimmers learn basic training techniques like monitoring heart rates, stroke counts, and learn about pace clocks and intervals. Competition for this group is recommended, particularly when we offer home meets. To get the most out of your child’s involvement with the team, we recommend a minimum of 3 practices per week.

Group

3

Emphasis is placed on technique with progressively longer yardage. Swimmers learn to handle more challenging sets and learn about swimming theory. During meets we encourage our athletes to discover new events that were previously beyond their ability. Competition for this group is strongly recommended. To get the most out of your child’s involvement with the team, we recommend a minimum of 3 practices per week.

Group

4

Emphasis is placed on training the body and the mind. Swimmers are expected to show a strong commitment to improve their performance. Competition for this group is strongly recommended. To get the most out of your child’s involvement with the team, we recommend a minimum of 4 practices per week.

Please Read!

Our ability to teach / coach your kids is directly affected by the level of homogeneity within each practice lane. Swimmers are grouped by ability in order to help each lane’s efficiency. By not attending the recommended number of practices, the swimmers may compromise this efficiency and be required to move to another lane or even to a different practice all together.
