What We Are About
Razor Aquatics is a coach-owned, private team that takes competitive swimming seriously. We believe in challenging our athletes and giving them opportunities to compete at a high level.
Expectation Management
Excellence on a youth sports team requires cooperation. The coaching staff is responsible for creating an effective training and development plan. But the athletes and parents are responsible for executing the plan. Talent also plays a role in how far an athlete goes.
We would love for all of our swimmers to become champions. But every swimmer can’t win at the same time. Especially if they barely show up to practice or put any serious work in while they are there. But when swimmers start young, show up to practice, work hard, and listen well, their odds of success go up dramatically.
If you throw in supportive parents that cooperate with the program expectations and requirements, things get even better. And if there is some talent there too, things start to look magical.
1 Month Evaluation Period
After an initial orientation and assessment, there is a one-month trial period for new swimmers. During that month, the swimmer will be assessed on a number of different factors. Their attendance will be looked at. Their effort level during training will be assessed. Their attitudes and responses to challenges will be taken into account. Their listening skills will be observed. Their athletic ability will also be observed. If a swimmer does not pass the 1-month evaluation period, the parent will be refund the remaining fees for that season.
Children between the ages of 4 and 10 do not need prior swimming skills to join our team. The only exception is to that is between the months of November and March. During those months, children between the ages of 4 and 10 will need to be able to pass a deep water test to join.
Children over the age of 10 will need prior competitive swimming experience to pass their swim assessment.
