Junior

This Junior group will provide that step in between the 12&U and our Senior training groups. The Junior group is designed to serve swimmers 13-18 who are looking to balance swimming with other extra-curricular activities. Junior emphasizes enjoying swimming, improving technique, and experiencing the aerobic benefits of working out. The goal of this group is to prepare swimmers for the training and commitment level of a Senior group. Multi-sport athletes and high school swimmers looking to train the rest of the year are encouraged to join the Junior Group.
