Practice 2026
We want more efficient time with our swimmers. In order to do this, we are continuing the 45-minute practice sessions (6 and under will remain 30 minutes) and encourage you to pick 2-3 days to come. In June, we may have opportunities for small groups on FRIDAY mornings, but more information will be coming soon on this.
The FIRST WEEK of swim will be an evaluation and a “remember what you did last year” period. We will be broken up based on age group for the 1st week only.
Then we will divide into our COLOR system groups as follows:
6u stays the same;
White= swimmers competing in 25-yard events that are new or have fewer legal strokes.
Maroon= competing in the 25 events with experience and legal in all strokes.
Silver= swimmers competing in 50-yard events with fewer legal strokes.
Black= swimmers competing in 50s with 4 legal strokes.
Gold= ALL HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMERS ONLY, regardless of ability. The GOLD group is expected to come 3 days a week, and in June are encouraged to work with the 6u group at the end of their practice.
