Gold Group (6:30 – 7:45pm) Coach Stan:
This is the fast group for older swimmers. Swimmers will be challenged and have high expectations. The Gold Group will be focusing on not just the summer season, but also on preparing swimmers for year-round meets and the upcoming HS season. Regular attendance at practice and meets will be expected.
Red Group (4:00 – 5:45pm) Coach Stan:
This group is by invitation only. Swimmers must have a minimum of two state qualifying times (or comparable meet) within the last 6 months. Swimmers must be physically capable of handling 30,000 to 50,000 yards per week. This group will be training for the Far Western Meet (or higher) with swimmers expected to attend the highest meet they qualify for. Red Group swimmers must attend 80% of weekday afternoon practices, as well as all required Saturday and weekday morning practices. They will also be expected to donate their time and services to the team as volunteers working with younger swimmers as requested by the Head Coach or Board.
The swimmers are grouped based upon ability and age by the Coaching staff. After the initial groupings, parents may submit a request
for a group change in writing to the Head Coach by the end of the 6th week of the season. After this date, groups will be considered
final and parents may not request changes.
Black Group (5:45 – 7:00pm) Coach Stan:
This is a new group to Pusch Ridge this year and will be by invitation only. This group is for experienced 9-14 year old swimmers that have demonstrated motivation, commitment, discipline, and a willingness to try to achieve their potential as a swimmer. Swimmers will be held to the highest standards, including strict attendance requirements. All swimmers are also required to have coach-approved fins.
