Group training under the direction of our experienced Coaching staff is scheduled during season weekdays. Regular participation in training sessions and team activities is strongly encouraged. Our experienced Coaching staff is also available for individual stroke instruction throughout the season. Lesson times and fees shall be private arrangements between the Coach and parent.

Shrimpers - Represent our 6 & under swimmers. They are capable of swimming one lap of freestyle unassisted and may be ready to progress to the other strokes. Ideally these swimmers are able to swim 25 meters of freestyle under one minute.  They swim in the first event in the meets - one lap of freestyle and then are free to go or stay and cheer on their team!

Age Group Swimmers - Swimmers aged 7 through 14.

7-10 compete in 25 meters. 

11-14 compete in 50 meters.

Seniors - Swimmers aged 15 - 18. Compete in 50 meters.

These groups may compete in:

• freestyle
• backstroke
• breaststroke
• butterfly
• individual medley (aka IM: Fly, Back, Breast, Free)
• medley relay
• free style relay

Each swimmer can compete in a maximum of 3 individual events and 2 relays. Ribbons will be awarded for the 1st - 4th place finishers with heat ribbons also awarded to all heat winners. If your child is an alternate for one of the relay teams, that counts as one of their two relay events. It is important for your child to stay for the entire meet if assigned as either an active participant or alternate on a relay team.
