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.
