Training in this group takes a great commitment and a high level of
attendance. Meet attendance and fulfilling leadership roles are mandatory
for senior swimmers. Male swimmers must be 13 or older, female swimmers
must be 12 or older. The senior program is geared toward producing national
level swimmers and preparing swimmers to graduate to the collegiate program
of their choice. Swimmers in the senior group will be expected to swim year
round.
The Age Group Team is a major stage in a swimmers development. At this
stage training concepts are introduced. Although stroke technique and skill
development are still vital to the improvement of a swimmer, there will be
a much stronger emphasis put on aerobic conditioning. Mastery of the
pace clock and proper lane etiquette are necessary to build an aerobic
foundation. Swimmers at this level are expected to understand how the sport
is structured and how to set goals according to and within that structure.
Swimmers entering this group must be able to complete 1 length of the
pool unassisted freestyle, 1 length of the pool unassisted freestyle and
backstroke, as well as possess the listening
skills necessary to take instruction in a group setting. Mastery of all
four of the competitive swimming strokes and a solid understanding of the
individual medley is the focus of the Developmental Team.
The primary focus of the Pre-Competition Group is to prepare them to
move into the Developmental Team. The basic fundamentals of all of the
competitive strokes will be introduced. Also important in a swimmers
development will be the social interaction with other swimmers and the
ability to manage a competitive workout environment. Swimmers entering this
group must comfortable in deep water, and possess the listening skills
