USA SWIM TEAM
NORTHSHORE & SOUTHSHORE
OTTERS and PORPOISES are widely known as some of the friendliest and fun loving animals in nature. Our goal for these program groups is to allow the children to enjoy the competitive training experience, have some fun and correctly learn proper swimming skills. These groups are created based on age and ability. We have swimmers as young as 4 in our Otter groups and as old as early teens in our Porpoise groups.
JR OTTERS
$60 per month
This is for beginner, schedule conflicted and new USAS swimmers.
This group will allow for 2 practices per week
This group is for beginner, entry level and new USAS swimmers who are willing to commit more time to the program. They will be encouraged to swim in the 8 & under regional meet; local USAS meets and perhaps on a relay at the Louisiana State Championship meet.
Swimmers may attend up to 5 practices per week
These are more advanced younger swimmers who have had some experience at the USAS competitive level. These swimmers vary in age from 7 to 11 or sometimes older.
The program focus is to prepare swimmers to advance to the 8 & under regional and short and long course state level, and motivate them to achieve national B, BB and A times. The emphasis is always on learning and using correct stroke mechanics throughout practices and races. These swimmers will also be introduced to distance training in elementary segments.
Because they practice at the same time as the Otters, the experience of the Porpoises is used as way of developing leadership within this group. During the course of the season every swimmer in the Porpoise group will be able to be a relay captain, lane captain or demonstrate a swimming skill to a younger swimmer.
Swimmers may attend up to 6 practices per week
The piranha is a fish known for its ferocity and aggression. On BLAST, this group is really learning to focus on aggressive race strategies and advanced race techniques.
These are experienced age group swimmers who have made the commitment to challenge themselves to qualify for, score in and win events in the Louisiana State Championship meets. The age range in this group is 8 – 13. These swimmers have proven to be capable of handling some of the more difficult training for swimmers their age around the world. Goals of this group include making national A, AA, AAA, and AAAA times, National Top 16 and being selected to the Louisiana Zone Team in the summer.
