Year-Round Program
Roughly 150 swimmers train year-round across the Junior and Senior Groups, from first competitive strokes through national-level racing. Ages are a guideline; coaches place swimmers where they can train safely and keep improving.
Junior Group (ages 8–14)
Junior 1, 2 & 3
About fifty swimmers total, split into three tiers. Rather than chase yardage, the curriculum prioritizes distance-per-stroke and efficiency, with two to three SwimStrong Dryland sessions a week and regular meetings on life skills and leadership.
Junior 1: 4–6 sessions a week, foundational focus with local meets. Junior 2: 5–6 sessions, refining technique toward Age-Group Champs and Far Westerns. Junior 3: 6–7 sessions, competitive prep for Senior-level swimming with Sectionals and Futures qualifiers.
80% of our graduating high school student-athletes go on to swim at the collegiate level.
Senior Group (ages 11–18)
Senior 2, 3 & 4/National
One of the most accomplished age-group programs in the country, at roughly 150 athletes, producing an exceptionally high number of national-level swimmers and collegiate team captains.
Senior 2 (lead: Marc Cavallero) is the entry point — 4,000–5,500 yards, 4–7 workouts a week. Senior 3 (lead: Donnie Heidary) is for athletes pursuing Sectional-to-National standards — 4,000–6,000 yards, 6–7 workouts. Senior 4/National (lead: Ronnie Heidary, ASCA Level 5) is for swimmers committed to the highest level of training and leadership, with mandatory attendance at all activities.
Training partners
SwimStrong Dryland provides nutrition, injury-prevention and leadership components at no extra charge. Restoic Mental Training supports athletes with a nationally recognized mental-training program, and the team uses Argo Video and GMX Resistance training devices depending on the season.
IMX & Deck Pass
The IMX Challenge is USA Swimming's motivational program encouraging swimmers to compete across multiple strokes and distances, including the IM. Swimmers earn a score by completing five to six events in a season and can see how they rank within the club, LSC and nationally.
