Group Requirements

Swimmers will be re-evaluated after both short course and long course season and moved to the appropriate level.

Only Coaches decide when and where athletes will be placed on the team. Athletes are originally assessed by try-out. Later, they are assessed by times achieved, practice test sets, social skills, commitment, endurance, and physical development.  Athletes are expected to practice with the group they have been placed in by the staff.  Swimming in other groups at other times is never an option.  Coaches place athletes in groups that are best for the training and the skill level they are at. As soon as an athlete is emotionally ready, properly trained, and meets the subjective and objective standards of a particular group of swimmers, the coaching staff will work together to move the athlete.  Many things are taken into consideration for a move.  Our professional coaching staff will make all decisions about group make-up and placement.
