Practice Schedule
Practice Groups
Swimmers are divided into groups based on age and skill level. Sometimes if a swimmer wishes to be pushed and has advanced swim skills, a coach will place him/her/them in an older-aged group. In addition, over the course of the swim season, swimmers could improve and their coach could move them to a different group.
Depending on the age group, coaches require swimmers to purchase an assortment of items to be used during practice (e.g. goggles, swim cap, kickboard, pull buoys, training swim fins, swim paddles, leg bands, mesh bag to carry items in). Swimmers may also wish to purchase other swimming-related items such as fleece-lined parka, extra goggles and an extra swim cap. Refer to the table below for a single link to an Amazon List for each age group. These lists could contain required as well as optional items and for some items you must choose the size appropriate for your swimmer. Please read the list carefully. If you have any questions regarding these lists, please contact the relevant coach.
