CORE GROUPS

While a swimmer’s age continues to be the most important criteria for practice session grouping, two other criteria – an attendance commitment criterion and an ability-based criterion are also part of all practice group sessions. For purposes of satisfying the age-based criterion, a swimmer is eligible to be considered the age that the swimmer becomes at any point during the short course season.

For all practice groups, there is a minimum attendance requirement for practice and for meets. Meeting the minimum practice requirement will be a factor to ensure priority registration for the next winter short course season.
