    Team Structure

    1. Novice Level is for teaching basic skills and technique for the beginning level competitive swimmer. Green (non competitive) and blue groups are part of the novice level, and they are competing at the “B/C” level.

    2. Age Group Level is for the young swimmer that has refined competitive skills and is striving to compete at a higher level. Grey, White, and Orange groups are part of this level. They compete at the Level 2 and 3 meets.

    3. Senior Level is for the older swimmer that swims high school and wants an extra practice or go all the way to the national level.
