WOODLAND SWIM TEAM PROGRAMS

DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAM
The Developmental Program is divided into three levels and is for younger swimmers just getting started in competitive swimming. Swimmers will be introduced to stroke technique and competitive skills (starts and turns).

• Water Frogs
• Developmental One's
• Developmental Two's

AGE GROUP PROGRAM
The Age Group Program is divided into three levels and is for more experienced younger swimmers and older swimmers who are just getting into competitive swimming. Swimmers in this program will continue to develop their stroke technique and competitive skills. As a swimmer progresses through this program there will be an increased emphasis on endurance training. The goal in this program is to prepare swimmers to enter the Senior Program.

• Junior One's
• Junior Two's
• Junior Three's

The Junior Three Group is a new group that we are forming in the Age Group Program. This group will start out as a small group but should develop and grow as we evolve. There will be an age requirement or a time requirement to be in this group.

SENIOR PROGRAM
The Senior Program will start out with one group in it, the Senior Group. A long term goal for the Senior Program would be to have up to three groups. A Senior Prep Group, a Senior Group, and a National Group. Swimmers in the Senior Group have made a commitment to the sport and will be expected to train at a higher level.

• Senior's
