Looking for a fun way to meet great families, develop a lifelong sport, be a part of a team, and make the most of your summer? Come join the Middlebury Swim Team! The team is divided into skill-level practice groups so each swimmer can develop at a comfortable pace. Not sure which practice group is right for your swimmer? Not to worry, MIDD coaches will help swimmers and their parents find their best fit!
Mini Marlins: swimmers ages 5-8 with a competitive spirit and the need for experience. They will continue to improve rhythmic breathing and competitive stroke skills. As skills improve, swimmers are encouraged to compete in meets. Swimmers who can swim 25 yards independently are welcome to join this group.
Marlins: experienced 8 & under, 9–10-year-old, and newer 11–12-year-old swimmers. Emphasis is placed on stroke development, correct technique, and building swimming endurance. Competitive preparation is introduced. Swimmers should plan to participate in swim meets.
Super Marlins: 13-year-old and older swimmers, 11 & 12-year-old at the coaches’ discretion. Emphasis is placed on intensive water training with a continued focus on endurance, commitment, and competition. Stroke technique is reviewed as necessary, and race strategy is reinforced. All Super Marlins serve as role models for younger teammates and are expected to participate in swim meets.
Apparel: Team suits are not required but may be purchased. More to come later. Super Marlins swimmers are encouraged to bring their own fins, snorkels and paddles to practice.
Parents: Parents are asked to volunteer at swim meets. From scorers to concessions, timers to ribbon distribution, there is something for everyone and a way for all to contribute to the fun and success of our team.
