About Our Training Groups

Little Nemos: Beginner Group
Practice: 3x30 min. each week
The goal for this group is to provide an easy transition from Swim America to Yorktown Swim Club.  Little Nemos will work to refine the techniques they learned during Swim America while continuing to develop their interest for swimming.  The work done in the Little Nemos Group will make the move to the Moby Group a much smoother one. 

Mobys: Developmental
Practice: 4 x 45 min. each week
The goal for this group is to introduce competitive swimming and to stimulate even more interest in swimming while further developing basic skills. The program will be very positive and encouraging, focusing on greater ease and comfort in the water, and using good technique in swimming lengths of the pool.  Swimmers will work on the proper techniques used for all four (4) competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly), including starts and finishes (counting strokes on backstroke), and proper breathing skills. As they progress, swimmers will also learn turns and finishes. Swimmers will participate in fun meets as well as competitive meets when the swimmer, his/her coach, and his/her parents feel he/she is ready.

Barracudas: Novice
Practice: 4 x 75 minutes each week
The goal for this group is to refine stroke techniques, learn some advanced swimming skills, and improve endurance. The emphasis is on learning while still having fun. While swimming is a sport requiring effort, concentration, self-discipline, and commitment, having fun remains the foundation. Swimmers will develop goals and monitor their progress. They will participate in both fun meets and more competitive meets according to their interests.

Stingrays: Intermediate
Practice: 5 x 90-120 minutes each week
Swimmers in this group are becoming more competitive and learning about the commitment necessary for success. The coaches demand excellent technique in practice while gradually increasing the level and amount of training as well as the level of competitive awareness. Coaches will help motivate swimmers to strive for their best, enjoy their teammates, and enjoy and learn from the challenges they face.

Bonefish: Advanced
Practice: 9 x 90-150 minutes each week
This group is composed of senior, serious swimmers who agree to rigorous attendance and training guidelines. Importance is placed on training consistently at a high level. Abilities and aspirations of this group are high - they are dedicated, committed, and ambitious performers. The challenges are great yet the rewards are priceless.
