We have four practice groups on the EPB&GC Tidal Waves:

BASE: Better At Swimming Everything.  These are our swimmers new to the team, new to competitive swimming, and becoming proficient in all four strokes and dolphin kick.

SASS: Strong Attitude; Speedy Swimmer.  These swimmers are learning to do all four strokes and dolphin kick FAST.  And they're learning every day they can control their attitude and effort.

WHAM: Working Hard; Always Medleys.  These swimmers are learning the basics of aerobic training, while being introduced to dryland.  All swimmers in this group are in at least 6th grade and remain committed to racing in all four strokes, but especially IMs!

TAG: Train and Grow.  Our oldest group, these swimmers must all be in high school.  They have the most advanced training schedule and time commitment and are expected to be at 80% of all dryland and swim workouts each week.
