All children are welcome to participate in the North Palm Beach Swim Team program.   The only restriction is that a child must be 5 years old and/or able to take instructions for the full training period.

In order to conduct a program the size of  NPBSC it is necessary to organize our swimmers into different groups.  Presently, there are six groups established for training and one Masters program:

Designed for beginning swimmers with no previous competitive swimming.  The emphasis of this group is to learn the fundamentals of the freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly.

Ages: 5 - 8

   Designed also for the beginning swimmer that is more advanced than the Green Team. The emphasis of this group is to continue to work on the four strokes and the fundamentals that go with them.

   Ages: 6 - 8

The first of the developmental groups, members of this team must have some competitive swimming or training.  Swimmers in this group should be ready to take on a greater challenge as they continue to work on stroke fundamentals and begin basic conditioning.

Ages: 7 - 10

Age group swimming concentrating on stroke technique and conditioning.  This is the first of the year round teams and swimmers who join this team must be prepared to commit to a year round training schedule.

Ages: 8 - 13

A more challenging practice that continues stroke technique and increases the amount of conditioning through a longer practice which incorporates more interval training.  Swimmers on this team have a dedication to competitive swimming and a desire to excel in their sport.

Ages:  11 - 14

The gold team objective is to prepare and teach young swimmer proper training habits.  The Groups main focus point is on technique, practice commitment and aerobic development.  Swimmers in this group have proven to have a desire to excel in swimming and one day reach the Senior Team.

The senior team is the most advanced of the age group programs with the most demanding training schedule.  This team concentrates on advanced conditioning and fine tuning each swimmers stroke technique.  The goal of the team is to provide the best training opportunity for each swimmer to achieve his/her own goals.  The level of dedication required from each swimmer is increased on this team and the number and length of practice sessions is also increased.

Ages: 13 - College

This team is created for the High School swimmer who wants to stay in shape and swim year round.  This group does not have any practice requirements.  Practices will consist of technique, sprinting and aerobic training.  This group meets Monday thru Thursday.  Friday and Saturday practices are optional.

Age:  High School

Emphasizing conditioning and solid stroke mechanics, this team is for every adult from the individual who just wants to get back in shape to the tri-athlete who is looking to improve their swimming.

Ages:  19 and Over

All parents should understand that the coaches have the responsibility for assigning   swimmers to the various training groups and have the prerogative of changing these assignments during the season.  The prime consideration of the coaches in forming the groups is not only based on age but a combination of the individual swimmer's times, ability., attitude, and desire to follow the workout for the group.

Training times for different groups change according to the different seasons.   These times are in the Club's newsletters, are posted at the pool, and on this website by clicking HERE.

Every member of the swim team who is 13 years old and older is required to be a current pool member in good standing.  This membership allows the swimmer all of the privileges at the Country Club Pool as set by the management.

Team members that are not current pool members must pay the daily admission charge if swimming before or after their scheduled training time.

When at the NPB Country Club Pool and when representing the NPB Swim Club, you are the supervision of the swim coaches, lifeguard and other pool employees and must obey all Club and Team rules.

Masters swimmers must have a Master's Pool membership.  See Coach Cavanah for cost.

The following pattern will continue for each additional swimmer
