Green Group: ages 6 and up
To enter this level, a swimmer must be able to swim one lap freestyle and one lap backstroke. This group is a fun introduction to competitive swimming. Practice is 1 hour a day Monday-Friday. At least three practices a week are recommended to have big improvements. This will also provide more time for swimmers to meet and be with their friends. At this level participation in other sports such as, but not limited to, dance, basketball, and soccer is encouraged.

This guide designed to give an idea of what is expected of the bronze group and a criteria for advancement. The coaches at Evergreen Swim club will work tirelessly within this template to ensure that each swimmer is getting the best training available to suit his or her goals and needs. Some swimmers may not meet every criterion for advancement. However, based on many factors such as fitness level, age, maturity, group cohesion and attendance coaches may place swimmers in a more or less advanced group if it is more beneficial to the swimmer and the respective training group as a whole.
