At this level, high school aged swimmers who want to advance and mature in swimming, but don't meet the criteria for the Senior Select or the National Training Group will find this Program a versatile level.

Note that practice schedules and locations are subject to minor changes prior to the season beginning, during the first few weeks of the season and during the high school swim team season due to pool space availability. Please refer to the weekly newsletter for updates.
