We offer three training groups designed to support swimmers at every stage of development. All practices are held at the Camp Smith Training Pool, Monday through Friday. Each swimmer is placed into a group through a tryout to ensure they're training at the right level.

Not sure where your swimmer fits? No problem — we'll help place them during a tryout.

Novice For swimmers building comfort in the water and developing foundational skills. This group focuses on learning the basics of all four strokes, flip turns, starts, water safety, and building endurance. Swimmers will develop the skills needed to transition into competitive swimming.

Age Group For swimmers who are comfortable in the water and working to improve technique and consistency. Swimmers will build endurance and stroke mechanics across all four strokes, learn to read the pace clock, and develop race-ready skills. Encouraged to attend practice at least 3–4 times per week.

Junior / Senior For experienced swimmers training at a higher level of intensity and commitment. Swimmers should be proficient at reading the pace clock, working through sets independently, and swimming all four strokes legally. Minimum attendance of 6 days per week expected.

Full group entry requirements and skill standards are available in our Group Standards guide.
