13-15 AGE GROUP

This group includes swimmers between the age of 13 and 15. Upon decision of the coaches, swimmers who turn 13-15 after January 1st of any given school year will be included in this group. Swimmers in the 13-15 (Youth) grouping learn advanced figures. At every key meet and for every routine, figures count for half of the final score, with the routine score making up the other half. 13-15AG swimmers learn and compete individually in figures, with the level of difficulty increasing at each level. For a duet or team routine, every swimmer’s figure scores count toward the combined score. This can and often does make a significant difference in the ultimate placement of the routine, for better or worse.
