Swim Groups

No, this does not eliminate them from consideration.  In giving descriptions of groups, we wanted to be clear and transparent that the group will operate under the assumption that swimmers in the group have that as one of their potential goals.

Yes. If a swimmer chooses to make a bigger commitment to the sport, works hard at practice, and can meet that age group’s suggested minimum requirements, a move is possible. Your coach is always the right person to talk to about your swimmer’s goals, aspirations, and their progress. 

As a team, one of our largest goals on a yearly basis is to win the Southeastern Swimming championships.  Having that as a common goal for all swimmers in a group makes seasonal planning more efficient for coaches.

IMR and IMX refer to the IMReady and  IMXtreme programs that allow USA Swimming members to track their times against swimmers across the nation. Information on the program, including events that contribute to a score can be found at USA Swimming’s website. Scores are compiled for both short course and long course seasons.
