COHO age Group Program

Within our Age Group Program, we offer 3 levels for swimmers ages 10 and under and 3 levels for swimmers ages 11 and over. In both age groups these levels are White, Blue and Red. In the White levels, swimmers will learn the technical aspects of all four of the competitive strokes, be introduced to training concepts, and develop skills needed for competition. In the more advanced Blue and Red levels, swimmers will build upon elements previously learned; continuing to improve technique, expanding on knowledge of training concepts, and refining skills for competition. Swimmers must follow the practice schedule for their assigned group. All practices are at Deerfield High School.

COHO Senior Program

Our Senior Program is designed to incorporate the training needs of all high school age swimmers. There are 2 groups within the Senior Program (Gold 1 and Gold 2). Swimmers must follow the practice schedule for their group. The schedule for AM practices and dryland will be posted once finalized around the HS girls schedule. In Gold 1 we provide an environment for high school boys to get in shape for their HS swim season. Swimmers may attend a maximum of one practice per day during the week (AM or PM) and Saturday practices. Participation in swim meets is optional but encouraged. In Gold 2 we provide a more intense environment for swimmers who are dedicated to training and competing year-round. Swimmers are expected to attend at least 85% of all swim and dryland workouts (AM, PM and Saturdays). Participation in swim meets is expected. Swimmers who do not meet the expectations of Gold 2 will be re-assigned to Gold 1. Location: Deerfield HS Age: 14-18 Instructor: Nancy Reese Min/Max: 0/16 per section
