LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD A POWERFUL TEAM
Razor Aquatics is a coach-owned, private swim team that takes competitive swimming seriously. We believe in challenging our athletes and giving them opportunities to compete at a high level.
Excellence is a cooperative endeavor in youth sports. Athletes, coaches, and parents all play vital roles in the success of youth athletes. Coaches are responsible for guidance and creating effective training plans. Athletes are responsible for executing the plans with discipline and attention to detail. Parents are responsible for supporting the athletes and coaches in implementing the training plans, which often requires significant commitment and sacrifice.
SWIM TEAM TRYOUTS
Swim Team Tryouts involve a fitness assessment and a swim assessment. The fitness assessment involves land-based exercises to observe the athlete’s current fitness levels and effort during physical training. When swimmers pass the fitness assessment, they go through a swim assessment next to assess their ability to complete full lengths of a standard size 25yd pool. If the child has already been in the Razor Aquatics swim lessons program, he/she may bypass the swim assessment.
New Swim Lessons Program
Starting in January of 2026, Razor Aquatics will begin offering general swimming lessons. Swim lesson sessions will consist of 9 class meetings per cycle. Summer of 2026 will have a more robust offering however.
Our 9-class swim lesson cycles are designed to introduce swimmers to water safety and provide them with basic swimming skills that can be life-saving. Some children in our swim lessons program will go on to join our swim team and gain advanced swimming skills. After two cycles of swim lessons, priority will be given to new sign-ups if classes fill up. A waiting list will be used.
The first swim lessons cycle that starts in January will be for ages 4-12. Broader age ranges will be accepted for future swim lesson cycles. Adult lessons coming this summer.
Schedule and Training Requirements
We have different training groups with different schedules. During non-summer months, training is held in the evenings. Swim lessons sessions are typically 45 minutes in length and 2 days per week (Mondays and Thursdays). Swim Team training sessions can meet between 3 and 6 days per week for an hour to two and a half hours depending on the training group a swimmer is assigned to based on age and skill level.
The time slots for each training group fit between the times of 5:00pm and 8:10pm. Each swimmer’s time slot and meeting days will depend on the training group they belong to based on age and skill. Parents may not pick their own time slots based on the convenience of their own personal schedules. So it is important that children are available between those time frames before they join the team or starts lessons. So if a swimmer’s training group meets on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6:30-8:00pm, a parent may not put them in another training group he/she doesn’t belong in because it meets Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 5:30-6:30pm.
Summer months may have earlier afternoon training sessions available as well.
