New Group Standards For the Start of AAAA Spring Season

As Ad Astra Area Aquatics grows, we want to continue to advance the structures of our Squads.  This is a natural and necessary step in club growth.  In our case, team growth and progress has been accelerated and our coaching staff wants to make sure each Squad has the necessary standards of excellence to allow each athlete to reach his or her full potential in swimming.

The following are the revised standards and expectations for each Squad.  These new standards will go into effect at the end of this season as we look at move-ups and group realignment.  As we begin the 2013 LCM season, we will enforce these new standards.  All athletes will remain in their current Squads unless invited to move up or are recommended for Elite 1, 2 or Senior.

Attendance will be taken for our Eclipse Squad and above during the remainder of this season.  Attendance is an essential part of our top Squads on AAAA.  These attendance percentages will be referenced in relation to which group you will be with at the beginning of the 2013 LCM season.

To the stars!
