General Information

The Traverse City Swim club is an age group swim club operating under the policies of Michigan Swimming, a division of USA Swimming (USS). It is composed of boys and girls, ages 5 to 18, who live in the Grand Traverse area. The team exists to provide an opportunity for young people to participate in competitive swimming. TCSC is a parent-run organization and as such requires parent participation to be successful. Coaches Katie Benjamin, Susan Cover, Matt High, and Brad Waddell bring years of swimming and coaching experience to the team.

When Does the Spring 2008 Program Begin?

The spring 2008 program begins on Monday, April 7th. The spring program, which focuses primarily on stroke development, is broken up into a trio of three-week sessions. Practice is scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. Session One runs from April 7th through April 24th. Session Two runs from April 28th through May 15th. Session Three runs from May 19th through June 12th, with no practice on Memorial Day. A swimmer may register for one, two, or all three sessions as their schedule allows.

How Do I Know If I Qualify For The Team?

Only swimmers who have reached the "Breakers" level, or swimmers from the high school team, are eligible to swim with the Breakers team. The coaches will determine the placement of each swimmer based on the swimmer's mastery of the different strokes, swimmer's goals, etc. Swimmers new to the team will be evaluated by the coaches in the first week of practice.
