Levels & Groups
Introductory Level
Prehawk: The Prehawk group is the first of our introductory level groups. This group aims to introduce the sport of competitive swimming for entry-level swimmers who have advanced from a learn-to-swim program. In this group, we hope to build on the skills swimmers have learned in swim lessons and teach the basic fundamentals of each stroke in a fun and engaging way that will inspire continued participation.
White: The White group is the second of our introductory level groups. This group aims to provide a more in-depth introduction to the sport of competitive swimming. In the White group, we hope to continue teaching swimmers the fundamentals of each stroke, and expanding on the skills developed in the Prehawk group. We hope to provide swimmers with to tools and skills to explore competition with a goal of developing all strokes to be legal before leaving the group.
Developmental Levels
Green Group: The Green group is the first of our developmental level groups. This group aims to build on the fundamentals learned in our introductory level groups by refining skills, habits, and attitudes to develop a foundation that will help swimmers succeed in long-term.
Blue Group: The Blue group is the second of our developmental level groups. The function of this group is to continue guiding swimmers to develop a foundation of skills and habits that will support long-term growth, success, and enjoyment in the sport of competitive swimming.
