Practice Group Assignment

To provide our athletes the best opportunity for personal and athletic growth, swimmers are assigned to practice groups based on age, ability, and level of development. Coaches use the same criteria when considering the best time to progress a swimmer from one group to the next. 

New swimmers MUST have a swim test before being assigned to a practice group Group assignments are made by the coaching staff, and moving from one group to another will always be based on the head coach's discretion.  Each child develops at a different rate.  A child’s group placement is selected because the coaches have determined that it is the best place for them in their swimming development.   Proper group placement is imperative to a swimmer’s long-term success.  Comparing your child to others in their practice group or another practice group is not constructive, productive, or healthy for you or your child.  The Sea Bees coaches make group assignments and group moves based on what is best for the swimmer, what is best for the group, and what is best for the club. 

Paramount in the consideration of a move is the swimmer’s age, physical and cognitive maturation to handle the group, and the commitment required to be in the group. In addition, it is important to consider the appropriate development of an athlete versus what they may be capable of (it is not about what they CAN handle but where they SHOULD be to thrive and develop). Consistency in attendance, work ethic, attitude, training ability, and performance, as well as actual age, physical maturation, and cognitive capacity are all factors considered in determining level placement. Setting them up for long-term success is the primary goal of group movement. Not being fully prepared for a group can be more detrimental to future success than being in a group for which they are overqualified. Being placed in a group that may not fully match their age or ability can also be dangerous both physically and mentally. 

Practice Group Movement and Progression 

Coaches will consider moving a swimmer to the next practice group when they feel that an athlete is MORE THAN ready to succeed in the next highest practice group. If changes appear beneficial for an athlete once the season begins, the coaching staff will evaluate what changes are best and consult with the Head Coach. Our coaching staff will then connect with a swimmer’s family to ensure the best recommendation is brought forward for the success and happiness of the athlete. Although group changes are a decision made by the coaching staff, coaches will communicate with parents prior to initiating the move so that parents can prepare for schedule and fee adjustments and address any concerns they may have.

When transitioning swimmers to the next practice group coaches may have swimmers start with 1-2 practices per week with the new group before fully committing to the new group.  This will allow time for both the coaches and swimmers to see how they respond to their longer duration and more challenging workouts.  Also, allowing for an easier transition for the swimmers.
