Competitive Team

Athletes in the Build development stage learn to focus on the foundational skills of the four individual medley strokes while developing strong fitness and swimming IQ. Swimmers with a strong background from swimming lessons or summer swimming will find this entry to the team a good place to start if they do not have all the competitive skills proficiencies yet.

The growth stage of development further shapes the foundation for long-term swimming success. Athletes in these programs will learn advanced swimming skills and added fitness training for completing longer distances and swimming more efficiently (faster). Swimmers in this stage are encouraged to foster the habits of excellent work ethic, the love of learning, and being one's best in all they pursue.
