Swimmers will be assigned a practice
squad. This is based on the swimmers
abilities with each stroke, their times, their
age and their attitude. Swimmers can
change practice squads through out the
season based on the criteria. These
practice squads will be posted in the pool
area, along with the criteria for each
group.

If your swimmer is not proficient in all four
strokes they will most likely be in the
green practice squad.
