Practice time: 3-7 hours/week – Swimmer/Coach Ratio: 12:1
The Sailfish USA swim team, run under the USA Swimming membership organization, is designed to develop swimmers for competition and foster a strong team learning environment. Swim practices are designed with training, technique refinement, and racing in mind.
Swimmers will have passed Swordfish 5 or be able to swim 25-50 yards of the pool legally for each of the four strokes – butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle. Try-out is required. Coaches lead from the pool deck.
