MAFD Swim Team has 5 Group Levels based on skill and ability.  

The requirements for each group are listed below.  

A time is set aside during Friday morning practice to test for leveling up. 

Each swimmer receives a silicone wristband of their level.  This will be turned in and exchanged for the next level upon successful completion of required skills. (you may replace lost bands for $1 if needed)

Head coaches reserve the right to adjust these requirements, if needed, with notice to the team. 

Head coaches also make the final decision for any exceptions to these requirements, if a situation warrants.
