The Issaquah Swim Team offers a progressive age group program designed to develop the athlete technically, physically and mentally in a systematic fashion. At the beginning levels, technique is the top priority and as each athlete matures, more emphasis is placed on maintaining technique while progressively developing the athlete’s physiological and psychological capacities. At each level of our program, we continually try to evaluate and adapt to the multitude of factors; technically, scientifically and sociologically; that impact the growth and development of young athletes.

The progression from one training group to another is solely the coaching staff’s decision and is based on many variables. Some groups are participation based, while others are based on age, ability, performance, training compatibility and commitment standards.
