Junior Groups – Development Stream
​​​​​​​
The SWAT Junior Groups are the first stage of our Development Stream, which is the “Learn to Train”
stage of our team. Geared toward young intermediate swimmers, they will build on the fundamentals
learned from the Discovery Stream. Swimmers should have a new level of commitment to the sport, which
will help take their swimming to the next level. This practice group is structured to teach swimmers the
basic skills of how competitive swimmers need to learn to train to achieve their goals. Swimmers build
“Team Pride” and are introduced to the second team value “Integrity”, where the focus is to promote
accountability, respect, and honest and transparent behaviors on a daily basis.

Junior Provincial swimmer are AA qualified swimming looking to excel at the level and qualify for AAA Age Group competition.
