Training Groups

There are several training groups within the swim club. Below is a list of the groups and their expectations:

 
AGE GROUP   Ages 6-12+
·         Age Group offers five practices per week, with a minimum of three days recommended. The emphasis on this group is to learn the four competitive strokes, along with the starts and turns that go with them, as well as to improve endurance and strength.
·         Age Group may also include 7th and 8th grade swimmers new to competition.
·         Beginning meets are PreC/C meets. Age Group swimmers will also participate in C, B, A, and Championship meets.
 
PRE-SENIOR     Ages 11-14          
·         As with all of our groups, practice for the Pre- Senior is offered daily, with a minimum of four days per week recommended during the Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions. 6-7 practices during the summer session are encouraged.
·         Pre-Seniors may also include 7, 8, 9th graders in their second or third season of competing or 11-14 year olds with 2 or more "B" times.
·         Pre-Seniors will swim in C, B, A, and Championship meets.
 
SENIOR     Ages 13-18
·         Seniors attend 5 practices per week in the fall/winter and spring sessions.
·         Seniors attend 8-10 practices per week during the summer session.
·         Seniors train at an advanced level, including strength training 3 times per week.
·         Seniors will be training for championship taper meets.
 
NATIONALS     Ages 13 - Older
·      Nationals attend all practices during the fall/winter and spring sessions.
·      Nationals will attend 9-10 workouts during the summer session.
·      National Team is the top High School and College – age swimmers. They will be training for State, Regional, and National level meets against the top swimmers in the nation.  
 
Because the boundaries between the groups are not always perfectly clear the coaches will make the determination as to which group a swimmer is in and when they are ready to change.

Fundraisers

We need your help fund this team! The way the economy is, everything is getting more costly to run this swim club. All the help you can give is greatly appreciated!

Our Fundraisers for this season are:

Culver’s Fundraiser
This season the Red Wing Swim Club will bring orders to the guests of Culver’s in Red Wing. The Red Wing Swim Club will have the opportunity to bring in tips from guests of Culver’s. Culver’s will also donate 10% of their sales to the swim club for the time slot they help.

Econo Foods Fundraiser
The Red Wing Swim Club will bag groceries for customers of Econo Foods in Red Wing (Burnside location).  The swim club will earn tips from guests of Econo Foods. The date and time the swim club will bag groceries this season is:

Home Swim Meets
The Red Wing Swim Club will host a swim meet during the fall/winter season. These will be one of our two largest fundraisers of the season. Teams from Minnesota and Wisconsin will come to Red Wing to compete and the swim club will be responsible for everything necessary to run the swim meet from timers to results and ribbons, etc. These require the help of all members in order for a smooth-run meet.  We need to make sure these are run smooth in order to be granted them for the years to come. We have the potential to make thousands of dollars to keep our club sustainable.

Mega Cards
Mega Cards are a major fundraiser for the RWSC. Mega Cards can be purchased for $20 and are good for a discount at any participating local business. It is an easy sell because it doesn’t take long at all to gain the $20 back. In fact, over the year, a Mega Card user has the potential to save a few hundred dollars. This fundraisier is done in the spring.

Will these teams make the playoffs?
