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. Swimmers who can swim 25 yards both freestyle and backstroke independently are welcome to join this group. If your swimming isn’t quite there yet we encourage you to enroll in swimming lessons for another season prior to joining the swim team.
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 are expected to compete in meets.
Super Marlins:13-year-old and older swimmers (10, 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.
Apparel: Team suits are not required but may be purchased: More to come later
Parents: Parents will need to that the opportunity to try different jobs early in the season to match their talents to the many tasks needed to run a swim meet. From scorers to concessions, from timers to ribbons, there is something for everyone and a way for all to contribute to the fun and success of our team. We really need help from ALL parents.
