The great thing about swimming is that there is no “starting line-up” or “first string” and no one has to “ride the bench”. Everyone gets their opportunity to participate and contribute their performance to the team, no matter what group you are in.
The group that you are in does not define your value to the club. Rather, you are placed in your group to maximize your development towards reaching your potential. Each group goes through a process of development that makes moving up at random times of the year inappropriate.
As a whole, our swim club does not have very many group levels (we have 6 to be exact). Our first 4 group levels (Prehawk, White, Red, and High School) are designed to give each swimmer the appropriate stroke technique and endurance training for each given level. Beyond those, we have our high-level groups (Blue and Senior). These groups are focused on intense training and competition. Please know that our advanced groups (Blue and Senior) have specific requirements as well. Swimmers in those groups must come to practice, must compete in meets, and be willing to train at a higher level. Commitment, self-motivation and competition become the standard to which these groups strive to develop themselves as athletes, teammates and people.
Often swimmers are eager to move-up, which is understandable. However, we want all our swimmers to be successful in their given groups. Attitude, Attendance and Ability are all strong indicators of when an athlete is poised to move up. Throughout each and every practice, all swimmers are being evaluated and when those determining factors coincide with a good calendar date/cycle of training, then the coaches can make decisions on moving a swimmer up.
Again, group level does not mean one swimmer has more value than another swimmer. Swimming is a lifetime sport. Competitively, we want our swimmers to be competing throughout high school, college, and beyond. We also want our swimmers to enjoy swimming. Within each group, all swimmers will be pushed to maximize their potential and we will put them in the best position to improve. Ultimately, swimming fast is fun. For swimmers, the more often they come, the harder they push, the better they will become, and the more fun they will have.
