The Black Group is for swimmers who have achieved their provincial championships standards and have either recently qualified for our East Coast Championships or are working towards reaching that standard. Swimmers in this group are expected to represent the Legends at local and provincial competitions, with out-of-province meets being available throughout the season. Commitment and Passion will have a higher value in this group with commitment being monitored via attendance at practice and in-province competitions. Swimmers who show persistent absences from training and provincial competitions will work with their group coach to identify a solution, as spots in this group are limited. Swimmers will work with their group coach under the supervision of the Head coach to continue their development.
Black I will have a more intense training environment, as they have shown more biological development and are chronologically older. The main focus is the continued development and refinement of all competitive skills. The average ages in this group are 14-16.
