NSST Winter 2024-25
Practice Levels & Workout Groups
We have revamped our practice structure to start moving toward the goal of working within USA Swimming's American Development Model.
There will not be immediate changes in everything we do, but this year you will see some changes in our practice structure to more closely resemble this model. Over the next few seasons, our goal is to implement this structure further to see positive impacts in our swimmers performance.
Please use the linked posted here to learn more about this model and see the direction we are trying to go as a team.
Practices will be divided into 6 practice levels based on ability.
Practice level will be divided up into multiple workout groups based on ability.
Each practice group will have a limited number of swimmers. Groups CAN and WILL fill up so register early.
Swimmers will be assigned to their practice level based on their ability, unless they have the following:
not swam in a meet
are not comfortable swimming full lengths of the pool
are not capable of swimming at least two competitive strokes
If the above items are the case, swimmers will be assigned to the Level 1 practice.
Practices can not go over the maximum capacity at any time, no exceptions. Swimmers will only be allowed to swim in their specific practice groups/times.
