Swim Team Group Structure

The group structure is designed to place each swimmer in the program where they are able to best pursue their goals. Regard is taken for a swimmer age, ability, and emotional readiness.

Summer Group - This group is new and has been set up to accommodate the swimmer who is brand new to competitive swimming. We will be working on stroke development, the foundations of freestyle and backstroke. Introduction of breaststroke and butterfly is also seen. Being a part of this group is for the summer only. Being in this summer only group is NO guarantee that there will be a space available on the Marlins Team in the fall. We anticipate that this grouop should be able to compete in our Marlin Swim Meet in July.

Zoomers- The Zoomers is a group working on the foundations of freestyle and backstroke. Introduction of breaststroke and butterfly is also seen. Swimmers will also begin starts turns and basics of reading a pace clock. Swimmer must be water safe and be able to swim one length of the pool. Ages 5-12. Meets 2-4 times a week. Emphasis on stoke development. We expect that swimmers in this group compete in meets.

Bronze- Bronze continues working on all strokes with an introduction to butterfly and race and pace strategies. Further work is seen in freestyle and backstroke with more emphasis on conditioning. Swimmers should be able to swim back, breast, and freestyle and have a developing turn and start for group membership. Meets 2-4 times a week. Emphasis on stoke development. Ages 5-12

Silver- Silver is our top age group. Emphasis now is on more competition but with the perfection of stroke technique. Mastery of all strokes, turns and starts. Meets 3-5 times a week. Emphasis on stoke development and competitive conditioning. Ages 8-13.

Senior- This phase requires the most commitment to swimming. Swimmers are more mature and are interested in maximizing their potential. Swimmers become more specialized. Swimmers learn the sacrifice required for maximum performance. Meets 8 times a week.
