Development Team
Group Coaches Alligators: Coach Dan All-Stars: Coach Audrey
DT is a unique year-round program for beginner to intermediate level swimmers looking to improve their strokes and endurance before making the leap to fully competitive swimming. It is perfect for younger swimmers who are looking for an introduction to year-round swimming, or for older swimmers who enjoy swimming during the fall and winter but also wish to continue to participate in other sports and activities.
DT offers lots of hands-on coaching and personal attention from our coaching staff, ensuring that our youngest swimmers develop into talented athletes!
We offer a variety of days for practices to accommodate the swimmer's busy schedule. We suggest you attend three practices a week to begin your development in this sport. We typically split each practice into two or three levels with each group practicing 45 minutes. We typically spend a great deal of time during a practice on stroke development and teaching other components of this sport. Typical ages in this group are 5-10 years old.
DT Seasons
Our Development Team is split into four seasons throughout the year. We have a week break usually inbetween each season. We do have a strong Polar Bear season, but most of the swimmers usually swim both the Fall and Spring teams.
Fall Season Aug 19 - Nov 1 Polar Bear Season Nov 10 - Jan 31 '09
Spring Season Feb 9 - May 2 Summer Season May 11 - Aug 1
Practice Schedule Monday - Friday 4:30-5:15 and Saturday 11:15-12.
Our DT swimmers compete in our Best Times Meets at LCCC and some do compete in USA Swimming Meets. We expect that each DT swimmer will participate in our Best Times meets. These meets are usually once a month during the Fall Season. If a swimmer enjoys competeing, we will encourage them to also compete in USA Swimming Meets.
