Swim Groups

Where do you fit in?

Guppy Group - Ideal for beginners focusing on stroke fundamentals
Guppy Group

Novice to Intermediate

Guppy Group Ideal for beginners focusing on stroke fundamentals and the former "swammer" just getting back to the pool after a long break. This is not a learn how to swim session. Swimmers need the ability to swim 25 yards continuously, one length of the pool. Guppy sessions are very small in size and focus mainly on freestyle with optional stroke work, using a beginner-friendly approach to enhance swim technique. Participants can expect to swim approximately 800 – 1,800 yards (based on ability) during a one-hour coached guppy session.

Mahi Group - Designed for intermediate to advanced swimmers who can confidently swim 400 yards freestyle without breaks.
Mahi Group

Intermediate to advanced

Mahi Group Designed for intermediate to advanced swimmers who can confidently swim 400 yards freestyle without breaks. Sessions include a mix of freestyle and other strokes, kicking, drills, and challenging intervals. Expect to cover 2,500–3,000 yards in a one-hour session and 4000+ yards in a 1.5-hour coached morning session. This is the training group for swimmers that want to challenge themselves and take their swimming to the next level.

Combined Group - In these sessions, we integrate the Guppy and Mahi groups, assign swimmers to lanes based on their swim ability
Combined Group

Novice to advanced

Combined Group In these sessions, we integrate the Guppy and Mahi groups, assign swimmers to lanes based on their swim ability, and adjust distances and intervals as needed. This setup is ideal for Guppy swimmers who are thinking about advancing to the Mahi group, allowing them to train alongside peers of similar abilities.

Create a hyper-realistic, high-resolution image of an adult swimmer in a pool, showcasing their powerful stroke and determination. The focus should be on the swimmer's form and technique, capturing water splashes around them. The background should be a blurred view of a swimming pool with vibrant blue tiles. Use a 45mm f/1.2 lens style to emphasize the swimmer in sharp focus while keeping the background soft. The color scheme should reflect the primary color rgb(3, 125, 201).
