Seahawk Swimming Groups
All swimmers will be placed into advancement groups. These groups are based on age, ability, attendance and swimming times. Beginning groups are geared toward teaching and learning new skills. These groups are based more on fun and technique than training. As the child develops we offer groups that require more time training. Our novice groups train two hours per week compared to our top senior group working out 20 hours per week.
The coaches have certain criteria for each training group, these groups may change from season to season. The goal is to promote steady and continuous progress. Swimmers need not be given too much too soon. As the swimmer becomes faster and more goal-driven the practices and intensity can increase.
Technique instruction is uniform throughout the program. All assistant coaches are following the program as set by the Head Coach. If we can keep the program uniformed with a well-planned progression up each step of the ladder, our program will aid the child's total growth and development.
Please ask your child's coach for a list of our groups and where your swimmer fits in. Parents, remember that each step up the ladder should be earned.
We have developed this group for beginning swimmers who have completed swim lessons and would like to be in a structured swimming program without the thrill of competition. Members in this group will pay the annual USS membership fee, but will not be obliged to pay team membership fees, and will not compete.
