Vernon Hills High School
The Silver Group, aged 9 to 12, training is all about discovering what they’re capable of—whether they’re gearing up for competition or simply enjoying the rhythm of swimming with friends. In both the competitive and non-competitive groups, the emphasis is on skill development, teamwork, and personal growth. Competitive swimmers begin to embrace race strategies and goal setting while learning the importance of supporting teammates through wins and challenges. Meanwhile, non-competitive swimmers build foundational technique and team spirit through fun activities and practices. Together, both groups create a dynamic environment where every swimmer is valued, encouraged, and given space to grow, whether they’re chasing medals or mastering the joy of the sport.
