Blue Swim Group

Level

Beginner or New Member Group

Description

Most swimmers start here to get familiar with how the team operates and build essential skills for swim meets. Not every swimmer in this group is a true “beginner”; some may just need to strengthen a few skills before moving up to the White Group. An athlete needs to be able to complete 25 yards to enter this group. Expectation is to have competition-level 25s of two strokes by end of season.

Your swimmer will typically be placed in this group if:

  • It’s their first time on a swim team or part of a swim club.
  • They’re on the younger side of our team.
  • They’re still working on foundational swim skills.

Practice Times

Fall & Spring: 5:30pm – 6:30pm Daily
Summer: 7:30am – 8:30am Daily
