BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few good questions.
How do we know this is the right group?
Coach Marc considers the swimmer’s skills, readiness and learning needs. The published age range is a guide; contact the coach if you are unsure about placement.
Does this level guarantee a qualifying time?
No. The program describes a developmental focus. Progress and meet qualification depend on the individual athlete; the coach helps set appropriate goals and assess readiness.
What happens when my swimmer is ready for more?
Discuss the next step with the coach. Movement through the pathway is based on development and readiness, rather than an automatic promotion on a birthday.
