Bobcats program is a USA Swimming program designed to constantly grow and train young swimmers to maintain a well rounded competitive swimming team.  Through attendance in USA Swimming competitive events under the guidance of certified coaches, swimmers develop their skills and abilities in this life long sport. This program is broken up into the two (2) seasons: Short Course and Long Course.  In general the dates for each season are as follows:

Short Course: Fall/Winter

            The Bobcat Swim Club features progressive levels of swimming groups determined by commitment and ability.  These varying levels represent the milestones of a swimmer’s career and are designed to foster their competitive drive.  The developmental groups are designed to improve swimming technique. More advanced group members are expected to attend more swim practices, dry land activities, and competitive meets. The Bobcat Swim Club is about the enjoyment and development of competitive swimming within a team structure. 

            Progression from one group to another is determined by a combination of qualitative measurements.  Swimmers who demonstrate specific time standards along with a willingness, desire and commitment to competitive swimming will be considered for advancement.  When transitioning from one group to another, swimmers will have one week to visit the next level practices to ensure their ability to succeed.  After the transition period, swimmers will then meet with the coaching staff to discuss the next step!
