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. Within both age groups these levels are White, Blue and Red. In the White levels, swimmers will learn the technical aspects of all four competitive strokes, be introduced to training concepts, and develop skills needed for competition. In the more advanced Blue and Red levels, swimmers will continue to improve technique, expand knowledge of training concepts, and further refine skills for competition.
