The Senior II Group is for swimmers ages 15 and over who are swimming at the North Carolina Swimming State Championship level. This is a highly committed group focused on achievement at the senior level of the sport. For athletes in this program, swimming has become an activity they are committed to. Meet and practice attendance is critical, including during the summer months.
Vacations and other activities are encouraged to be taken in balance with the swimming practice and meet schedule. This training group should begin to take a higher priority in instances of conflict with outside activities.
The focus of this group is eventual advancement to the Senior I Group.
Admittance and continuation in the group are by invitation only, based on coaching decisions as well as:
- Proven commitment
- Attendance
- Ability
- Work ethic
- Time management
- High character standards
- Willingness to adapt and accept coaching
- This group focuses on each athlete’s needs to excel in the sport. Technique and dryland skills are an integral part of the program to help the athlete reach their potential.
This group practices up to six times per week for 150 minutes.
