WHY SWIM FOR TRIDENT DEVELOPMENTAL TEAM?

At Trident, our Swim Team focuses on long-term athlete development, nurturing swimmers and fostering character traits for athletic excellence. We promote self-improvement, personal growth, and goal achievement through a structured process.

Our Developmental Team is an integral part of our competitive program, designed for swimmers who are proficient in freestyle and backstroke. This group builds essential competitive skills, refines techniques, and introduces swimmers to meet dynamics, creating a smooth transition pathway to our competition groups. Swimmers in this group are team members focused on building the foundation needed for successful competitive swimming.
