Olympians Swimming offers a range of groups designed to cater to swimmers of different ages and skill levels. Each group is structured to provide appropriate practice schedules, coaching, and competitive opportunities. The coaching staff will evaluate each swimmer to ensure that they have been placed into a group that best supports their development. 
Swimmers are placed into groups based on a comprehensive evaluation that considers three key criteria:

Age
Ensuring swimmers are with peers in a suitable developmental stage.

Ability
Matching skill levels for effective training and progress.

Commitment
Aligning with the swimmer's dedication to the sport and training requirements.

Our coaching staff carefully evaluates each swimmer to ensure they are placed in the group that best supports their individual growth and development.
