Beginners
This introductory group introduces swimming technique in a fun, non-competitive environment

Blue Group
This group is for swimmers with a basic knowledge of the four competitive strokes. The emphasis is focused on fitness, fun, and stroke/turn/dive technique. Swim meets are encouraged.

Age Group
This group serves as a transition group between the Blue Group and Age Group Elite. These swimmers continue to improve stroke technique while building endurance and conditioning. The swimmers in this group participate in monthly swim meets.

Age Group Elite
This group is for motivated, goal oriented swimmers who want to be the best they can be in competitive swimming. Workouts integrate endurance, speed, and stroke technique. This is a competitive group with training and competition criteria.

Varsity
This practice group builds endurance, conditioning, and stroke skills for less experienced swimmers while emphasizing competitive success at the high school and senior level for our more experienced swimmers. This group also serves as a transitional group for SASO swimmers as they prepare for the Senior Group.

Senior
Swimmers in this group are competitive and committed swimmers. Workouts are rigorous and designed to make the swimmer the best they can be. Each swimmer must be able to make specific workout stations. This group has training, commitment, and competition criteria.
