What: Age Group Swimming is a competitive swimming program designed to get kids involved in a swim team. The age groups are 8 & Under, 9-10, 11-12, and 13-14. The swimmers age group is determined by their age on the day of the meet. 

 

Who: Winter age group swimming is for swimmers 6-14 years old. Swimmers age 8 and under should be able to swim at least one length of the pool freestyle. Swimmers age 9-12 should be able to swim at least two lengths of the pool freestyle. Swimmers age 13 and over should be able to swim at least four lengths of the pool freestyle. The first two weeks of the season will be a trial period for new swimmers and the coaches to determine whether the swimmers should be swimming on the team or in lessons. In the first two weeks, if it is determined the swimmer would be better suited for lessons, a full refund will be given. There will be no refunds after December 6.
