For athletes that love the water and want to discover the fun of competitive swimming. This level (Copper/Nickel/Steel) is for the beginning swimmer who does not have much stroke experience. It is designed to introduce young swimmers to the sport of swimming while allowing maximum opportunity to participate in other activities. Emphasis is on teaching the fundamentals of the four competitive strokes by means of drills and games that make swimming fun. Workouts are about 80% stroke work and 20% conditioning.
Our Juniors (Bronze, Silver and Gold) are the swimmers of tomorrow. This group is for swimmers with knowledge of all legal strokes and turns who are ready to learn more advanced stroke techniques. Starts, turns, finishes, and reading the pace clock are taught. The objective of the Junior group is to reach A times. Workouts are about 70% stroke work and 30% conditioning. Swimmers in the Junior group are still encouraged to try other sports and enjoy other activities.
This group is a transitional level in which swimmers move in to competitive training and prepare for senior-level swimming. Commitment to training increases and season planning becomes more long-term. Building the foundation for a well-rounded swimmer continues, but some specialization is introduced as individual aptitudes are discovered. Athletes continue to learn more about how to train and why they train. Goal setting is emphasized at this level and done individually with the coach. Workouts are about 50% stroke work and 50% conditioning.

The program fosters self-improvement, personal growth, and goal achievement through a multi-phase process. Competition helps develop their natural abilities and pushes their teammates to do the same.
