Swimming Groups

Each individual with the SOLO Swim Club has his or her own lifestyle and schedule. A commitment toward personal progress begins with you, and your practice plans need to meet your own goals. The following is a suggested amount of practice for a swimmer:

RACERS
Developmental group for swimmers five years old and over who have had little or no experience on a swim club. Emphasis is on developing movement patterns that are controlled and efficient in all four competitive strokes.
Suggested Commitment - As much as possible

DYNAMOS
Novice group for swimmers seven years old and over who have had some experience with a swim club. Emphasis is on mastering basic stroke patterns involved with all four competitive strokes as well as the techniques involved with starts.
Suggested Commitment - As much as possible

AGE GROUP
Practice section for young swimmers beginning competition in the 10/under group. This section is designed to introduce conditioning techniques while improving stroke and turn skills. Swimmers are encouraged to attend no more than four practices per week.

ADVANCED AGE GROUP
The Advanced Age Group is made up of swimmers mainly competing in the 11 years and over categories. Emphasis is placed on proper stroke technique, goal setting, and competition. This group allows athletes a chance for increased commitment in training.
