We currently have 5 different training groups. After each new swimmer is evaluated,
he or she will be placed in the most appropriate group based on age and skill level.
The minimum age for each group is:
W Group: 5+
Pre-Comp. (PC): 9+
A: 9+
A+: 10+
C: 13+
This age is a minimum. Placement of new swimmers is at the discretion of the coach(es).

Whether or not a swimmer is ready to move up to the next group is at the coaches'
discretion. Move-ups are based on several factors, including (but not limited to):
age, skill level, maturity, attendance, swim meet participation, and commitment
level. If you have questions regarding your swimmer's move-up, please contact your
swimmer's coach. They will be happy to discuss your swimmer's progress and the move-up
goals and requirements.
