Open to swimmers age 14 & Up who make the minimum requirements of the group, however participation is by coach invitation only. Due to the nature of the training scheduled for this group, mid-year move-ups will only be an option in extreme circumstances and at the coach’s discretion only. This group will be focused on participation on a 12-month basis with the Stingrays swim team. This is the highest training group available.
The eventual focus of this group will be to train athletes for National level competition such as Olympic Trials and USS Nationals. These swimmers will also be assisted with college decisions, when the time comes, as well as participate in scheduled videotaping and review as well as periodic goal setting and mental training workshops. Each swimmer in this group will have 1-on-1 meetings with Coach Alexis throughout the season to make sure that training and performance goals are being met.
