The Triton Aquatics Club Novice/Age Group program offers a comprehensive, year-round training experience designed for aspiring athletes eager to advance their swimming skills and compete at progressively higher levels. This program provides a well-balanced blend of high-quality coaching and structured training, aimed at developing both technical proficiency and a strong competitive mindset.

The Triton Age Group program follows a seasonal training structure, aligning with the USA Swimming calendar to offer young athletes meaningful competitive opportunities:

• Short Course Season (SCY - September to March): Swimmers train and compete in 25-yard pools, with opportunities to participate in local USA Swimming-sanctioned meets, time trials, and age-group competitions. The focus is on improving race strategy, building endurance, and refining strokes under competition settings.
• Long Course Season (LCM - April to August): The transition to 50-meter Olympic-sized pools prepares swimmers for higher levels of competition, encouraging them to develop efficiency, stamina, and speed. During this season, athletes are introduced to regional meets and developmental competitions, helping them gain valuable racing experience.

Participation in the Triton Age Group Swimming program requires USA Swimming membership, allowing athletes to compete in sanctioned meets and gain valuable race experience. Swimmers in this program receive expert coaching, structured training plans, and a supportive team environment, helping them develop essential skills, build confidence, and progress toward higher levels of competitive swimming.

The schedule is current as of 2/20/2025

Athletes will participate in 5 - 6 practices per week. Practices will be structured with individual stroke development and strength and conditioning.
