Swimmers in this group have a basic understanding of swimming skills. Refinement and continued development of these skills are the main objective of this group. All of the swimmer's other activities, such as soccer, baseball, dance, etc. are encouraged. The basic points of emphasis are swimming satisfaction, fun, stroke technique and beginning competition. Swimmers generally compete in "BRW" level swim meets and are encouraged to attend at least four of the five 1-1/2 to 2 hour practices offered each week. Skills test are still being used to advance to the next level. Skills required will be determined by which group they would best qualify for according to the swimmers age. Advancement to the next level would be Senior Development or Junior Olympic Groups I, II, or III.
