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. White Group Requirement: Able to swim 25 meters of freestyle and backstroke. This group is part of our competitive program for developing swimmers. 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. Each swimmer is assigned to a specific practice group by the coaching staff after an initial skill evaluation when joining the team. The Coaching staff makes all decisions regarding initial group placement and all subsequent group changes for an athlete. Coaches will initiate communication with parents when a swimmer becomes ready for another group level. Although times are a partial basis for group placement, our program focuses on swimming skills and techniques as well as aerobic and strength conditioning, and works to ensure success for swimmers as they move through levels so they will be comfortable and consistent with the demands of the group they are moving into. Swimmers will be required to master certain skills, perform at specific levels in training, and exhibit certain behavioral criteria to be promoted to the next swimming level.
