HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS

Our high school girls program offers three seasonal sessions each year during the winter, spring, and summer months. Athletes in this group are in 9th–12th grade, with 6th-8th graders eligible to participate with coach approval.

Practices are held twice weekly during the winter and spring sessions and three times weekly during the summer session. While all high school girls practice together, training is often divided into smaller groups based on experience level to support appropriate development and individualized instruction.

There are no formal prerequisites to join the program; however, athletes should be able to swim 100 yards of continuous front crawl with rhythmic side-breathing and tread water comfortably for five minutes.

Each season, we provide a range of local and regional competitive opportunities designed to help athletes apply skills learned in practice to game situations. In keeping with our commitment to balance, weekend competition is typically limited to one to two times per month. Most local and regional tournaments are single-day events held in the Bay Area and Santa Cruz regions, although more substantial multi-day tournaments, such as Junior Olympics, may also be scheduled.
