Team Structure

Competitive Structure

The competitive structure allows for more comprehensive flow for the swimmers and expands the options for level up opportunities compared to the former system.  Swimmers should expect to go down one level (such as level 5 to level 4) when they move up a group tier (such as Age Group to Bronze).

How are groups determined?

Practices groups are determined based on the athlete's current training level.  These are not test sets, but rather, regular training sets the group would need to complete with ease.  Athletes do not move up a group level until they are ready to train at the level of the group they are moving into. For some group levels, additional time standards are needed to ensure the athlete is qualified for the meets on the group's meet schedule.
