In this group, swimmers have made a commitment to swimming as the major focus of their athletic careers.  Training is more demanding in terms of volume and intensity and the maintenance of technique during the training.  Attendance is very important to avoid injury and to maximize performance improvements.  We integrate technique, development, and refinement while focusing on team building.  Senior swimmers attend all meets.

 VARSITY TEAM

Advanced competitive swimmers

(ages 10-18)

$120/month PLUS $160 annual team fee

• SCHOOL YEAR SCHEDULE- M-F 3:45-5:15pm (swim) and Saturday 8:00-10:00am (swim)

The Varsity swimmers are ready for the “next” level in their sport.  They recognize the fact that swimming is hard work and are up for the challenge.  Training becomes more than just water time, as other areas of swimming are examined and we learn to use our minds AND our bodies together to achieve our goals.  Varsity swimmers attend all meets.

$100/month PLUS $160 annual team fee

The JV+ group is an introductory group to Varsity.  This group will practice with JV on all days except Friday, in which they will workout with Varsity. This group will focus on endurance and keeping correct stroke technique for extended periods of times. Individual goal-setting is emphasized and meet attendance is highly encouraged.

(ages 8-14)

$90/month PLUS $160 annual team fee

• SCHOOL YEAR SCHEDULE- TWTh 4:30-5:15pm and Saturday 9-10am 

The JV group is intended to provide organized workouts in a mentored environment with participation in the social events.  The techniques learned in Race Team, are perfected in the JV group. Training intensity and volume increase as the skills are refined with an increased emphasis on performance times as a measure of improvement.  While JV swimmers work hard, this group still leaves room for other sports.  JV does not have to attend all meets.

The Gold Group is a break-off group from Junior Varsity focusing on endurance within a small group setting. The swimmers in this group work on building endurance through correct stroke mechanics as they share many of the same areas needing improvement. This group will also introduce "away" swim meets.

RACE TEAM

Beginning and Intermediate swimmers

(ages 5-14)

The RACE teams are a hybrid of a novice and JV level practice group.  The swimmers are learning more about their swimming, the team and how to put all the elements of strokes together to have a successful race.  Dual Meet participation is encouraged, “away meets” are by coach recommendation (see your coach if your swimmer is interested in going to a weekend meet away from the club).
