Practice Groups All training groups work on the fundamentals of each stroke (event), starts, turns, and finishes with the goal of teaching each swimmer to become proficient in these skills. All swimmers are assigned a practice group based on age and competitive experience. Some swimmers may have their group switched during the season. THE HOUR PRACTICE GROUP These swimmers are further divided according to ability, speed, and swimming knowledge so that none are bored and all are challenged. All swimmers will be exposed to the 4 strokes, starts, turns, and finishes. THE JUNIOR PRACTICE GROUP These swimmers are further divided according to those who have developed skills in all specific strokes and by time. There are more lanes per coach in this group so it is important that swimmers respect each other and are able to keep up with the sets. Once a swimmer places into the Juniors, more of a commitment is expected in terms of numbers of practices they attend, length of practice, and participation in the practice. THE SENIOR PRACTICE GROUP As in the other practice groups, swimmers are further divided according to their knowledge and speed. These swimmers are able to maintain a strong commitment to the practice schedule. Senior level practices are longer and far more demanding the practices at the Junior level.
