High Tides Age Group
High Tides Competitive Swim Club is a great group of professionally coached athletes that learn valuable lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, dedication, and personal achievement while having a ton of fun in the pool.
Developmental Groups (Approx. ages 12 & under):
Swimmers will be guided through the levels of competition they are developmentally ready for, learning about themselves as athletes along the way. Swimmers are grouped by skill level, not necessarily by age. It is recommended to have passed Red Cross Level 4 to participate
Age Group (Approx. ages 12 & under): This is our highest level of developmental age group competitive swimming where swimmers are proficient in all four strokes. Workouts consist of approx. 3,000 yards. Swimmers in this level will also be able to swim in Hutchinson with a USA Swimming Membership. A maximum of 5 practices a week are included.
Swim Club Level Placement
Register your child for the level you believe is the best fit. If you're unsure, contact Community Education at 320-286-4120. New swimmers will be evaluated at their first session and may be reassigned if a different level is more appropriate.
All group placements and level changes are determined by the coaching staff. Coaches will communicate with parents when a swimmer is ready to advance. While swim times are considered, placement is based on a combination of skills, technique, conditioning, and readiness. Swimmers must demonstrate specific skills, training performance, and appropriate behavior to move to the next level.
Wednesday & Friday morning practices are also available for swimmers in Age Group and above for those electing that schedule as an alternative or in addition to afternoon practices.
