The Senior Group

 

Coaches:


Coach Allie Hanson

 

Ages:

14 to Post Graduate

 

Focus:

The Senior Group serves as our advanced training platform for swimmers. This group serves a multitude of purposes for SPARTAN SWIMMING and is our most diverse training group.  These swimmers should have a good swimming base and knowledge of swimming technique. They generally move up from our Age Group, but may make the jump from high school swimming following the high school season in November. Our Seniors range from high schoolers in their first year of competitive swimming to National qualifiers. Because of that, the technique-to-training ratio varies depending each individual's skill and experience. 

 

Competitions

Swimmers in the Senior Group are expected to compete on a regular basis each season.  Senior swimmers will typically attend 1 to 2 meets per month throughout the year.


EXPECTATIONS

You are expected to....

1. compete with the team

There are many meets that we attend through out the season. I understand that things come up, but with this team the senior group is expected to compete in all of them unless cleared by coach.

2. train year-round with the team

Spartan swimming is a competitive year-round team that trains for the season that they are in. Our focus is not to train to get better for high school season, but to train to get better for the season that we are in. For example, March through July is to train for long course season. Even during high school season, swimmers are expected to train at SPAR with their team mates. There will be days and practices that athletes get to train with their high school team. Again, to be on this team in other seasons you are to train through high school season.

3. maintain at least 80 to 85 percent attendance

80 to 85 percent attendance is the minimum that you should be working towards. Our athletes that compete and make state cuts are those that are pushing into the 95 percent attendance. This is the ultimate goal. This includes mornings and Saturday practice.


Fees:

$130 Per Month
