Category 1 is for younger novice swimmers ages 6-9 who have little or no competitive experience, but possess a knowledge of the four strokes and the ability to swim one length of the pool comfortably in freestyle and backstroke. This group is designed to teach the the fundamental skill development of the four competitive strokes while introducing the swimmers to the swim team concept in a nurturing atmosphere. There is a strong emphasis on mastering proper mechanics and learning good habits. Participation in USS meets is suggested. The group is limited to 18-20 swimmers.  

Category 2 is for swimmers ages 8-11 with good performing knowledge of the four competitive strokes. Review and refinement of stroke mechanics will be incorporated into each practice session. A goal of this group is to ease the swimmers into the discipline and conditioning of a competitive workout environment. Interval training and "sets" will be introduced. Monthly competition in USS meets is suggested  

Mechanics Group

Our mechanics group is designed for those swimmers ages 8 to 14 who may not have time for a serious practice regime but want to learn proper mechanics of the four competitive strokes, starts, and turns.

Category 3 is for swimmers ages 9-13 who have come into the swimming arena at a later age or need refinement of skills and conditioning. It is a serious workout with strong emphasis placed on proper stroke mechanics, race techniques, physical and mental training, and conditioning. Light stretch-cord work will be introduced and will be available as schedule permits. Competition in USS meets is suggested.  

This group is for serious, competitive and disciplined swimmers ages 12-18. Sound stroke mechanics, proficient racing technique, conditioning, and goal setting are the key components of this group. Upon advisement from our staff physiologist, swimmers over the age of 13 may participate in a weight training program. Serious competition in USS meets is suggested.

Huri High is our high school group. This group is designed for high school students who do not have the time commitment for our Category 4 or Elite groups, yet are looking for a competitive swimming workout to supplement their high school swimming.

This is our most serious group of competitive swimmers. The minimum age for inclusion in this group is 13. It is an intensive training program requiring a strong commitment to a rigorous regime that includes twelve hours of water workouts with additional dry land training consisting of weightlifting, stretch-cord work, and aerobics. Nutritional counseling by a staff physiologist and goal-setting with evaluation round out this highly dedicated group of athletes. A swimmer is required to be able to swim in 4 out of the 7 scheduled workouts per week, including Saturday mornings. COMPETITION IS REQUIRED!! An interview with Coach Paul is required before signing up for this group.
