Swimmers able to swim 25 yards of freestyle with fundamentally correct breathing mechanics or 25 yards of non-stop backstroke are eligible for the group. After the first week of practices, if the coaches feel you are able to handle a Red or Black Team practice, you will be notified.
Red Team swimmers will receive more intensive instruction in stroke mechanics and will experience more swim events.
After the first week of practices, if the coaches feel you are able to handle a Black Team practice, you will be notified.
