Our coaching staff consists of strongly qualified swim instructors who are USA experienced and certified to coach these levels of swimming. The coaching staff will be assessing your swimmer's skill level during the first few practices. At the coach's discretion, your swimmer may be moved to another group based on their ability. The SeaWolves currently offer the following practice groups.

Senior Group (14 & up) *

This is our top level group. Swimmers must be physically and mentally ready to train with a more strenuous workout schedule along with dry land training and stretching 2-3 times a week. This group consists of advanced middle school age swimmers and high school swimmers who are committed to the sport. Practice is 5+ times per week for two hours each day. During the season, morning and afternoon practices will be offered to this group.

Senior Development Group (12 & up) *

This training group consists of highly motivated middle and high school aged swimmers. Practices are geared toward a higher level of training intensity along with a strong focus on efficient stroke mechanics. Nutrition, core strength training and mental strategies will be introduced.
