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. Even when all parties perform their responsibilities, no one can guarantee wins. But the odds of success increase dramatically.
TEAM TRYOUTS
Children do not need swimming skills to make our team. But they must pass our team fitness assessment. That assessment involves running and other land-based exercises to observe the athlete’s current fitness levels and effort during physical training. After the fitness assessment and orientation, new swimmers undergo a swim assessment to determine what training group they belong in based on their current swimming skills.
Schedule and Training Requirements
We have different training groups with different schedules. Swimmers in our least advanced training group meet 3 days per week for an hour per session. Swimmers in our intermediate training groups meet 4-5 days per week for 1.5-2 hours per session. Our advanced training groups meet 5-6 days per week for up to 2.5 hours per session. All families looking to join our team should be available between 5:00pm and 8:15pm throughout the week. Their time slot between those hours will be dictated by the training group they belong in.
No swimmer is expected to maintain a 100% attendance rate, but all swimmers should be prepared to train with regularity and consistency. Poor attendance may result in not being invited back to the next season.
