TRAINING GROUPS

commitment.
NOVICE is for all new swimmers age 10 and under. Focus is on learning to swim
all four of the competitive strokes. Swimmers are allowed a maximum of 3 practices
per week.
JUNIOR is for experienced 10 and under swimmers and new 11-14 year old swimmers.
Focus is on refining strokes and increasing strength and endurance. 3 practices
per week recommended.
JUNIOR ELITE is for experienced swimmers age 11 and over with the ability and
desire to train for longer periods of time. 4 practices per week recommended.
SENIOR is for the committed 13 and over swimmer able to train with increased
distance, duration and intensity. 5 practices per week recommended.
Coaches will gladly answer questions regarding
which training group is most appropriate. Please do not pay registration
fees before checking with Coach Jon if you are unsure which group
to sign up for.
SWIM MEETS
The Wave participates in variety of meets during the season. Participation in all meets is optional. Swimmers sign up for each meet and the events they want to swim
NEW SWIMMERS
