New Groups and tentative schedule (Just need Civic center approval)

I met with Steven and Randy Friday night to discuss the layout and format for the up coming year. Steven's perspective is that we should have 4 groups instead on 3. The jump from the beginning group to the intermediate creates to much of a gap. So the proposal is:

Group 1-Beginners

Beginning group for the kids that are just starting and need to be trained on the strokes turns and pool entry. This group we basically be 2 hours per week. Steven will confirm

Group 2-Juniors

Junior this would be the group that is ready to start training for competitive swimmer. They would be in the pool about 6 hours per week but their practices would ramp up through the year so that the following season they would be able to be part of the intermediate group

Group 3-Intermediate

This group would be in the pool 8 hours per week and be progressing at a pace to move them to the Senior Group

Group 4-Senior

The group would be the top swimmers and in the pool 10 hours per week at the start of the year and ramp up as the year progressed
