Our Performance Fledgling Orioles are our swimmers ages 11-14. For five practices per week during each ten week session, this group will have fun while focusing on the fundamentals of proper swimming technique, aerobic and anaerobic training all while learning some more advanced race strategies. To receive bonus training opportunities, any Fledglings with divisional/state cuts will replace 2-3 practices per week swimming with the Junior Orioles as recommended by the coaches. Swimmers who join Performance Fledgling (session group) will pay for each 10-week session at the start of each session.

The performance groups are reserved for those who have earned individual divisional cuts in their age group (or previous age group if recently aged up). Please note, if your child is recommended to swim in the performance group but your family is not yet ready to make the year round commitment to our sport, you may opt into the regular group each session you plan to swim.

Any 7th and 8th graders who decline the invitation to swim with the Junior Orioles (a performance group) will continue to train with the Fledglings until they enter High School.
