JUNIOR GATORS:
Junior swimmers have a strong foundation in the basics of the four competitive strokes.  The primary training focus for this group is the continued aerobic development of the athlete and the ability to race properly at all distances using all four competitive strokes. 

Junior swimmers are striving towards specific competitive goals.  Swimmers practice to be faster through stroke work, strengthening, and endurance training.  The group continually works to have better stroke technique, better starts and finishes, and better turns.  Juniors are broken into two groups:  Juniors 1 and Junior 2.  Junior 1 is for less experienced swimmers and will emphasize improvement of stroke technique.  Junior 2 is for more experienced swimmers and will provide a more challenging swim environment.
