GREEN
2 - 3 Practices Recommended Weekly
This is our introductory level swim team group. Swimmers are instructed in the four competitive strokes, turns and starts. Technique is the primary concern at this level. Swimmers are taught the importance of drills and technique, working together, concentration and pace clock skills. It is suggested that those in Green attended practice two to three times per week so that younger children are able to experience other activities. These swimmers are encouraged to attend in-town and some out of town meets.

They are encouraged to attend in-town and appropriate out-of-town meets.
