The PC program focuses on developing proper stroke techniques and building strength and endurance. Novice level: this is usually the first competition level for a swimmer.

Intermediate level: this is the next level of competition. The skills for intermediate are more difficult than for novices and include pre-defined technical elements that must be performed in a set sequence during routines. Age Group level: this is the next level of competition. Routines for your swimmers at this level Re technical and require pre-determined elements that must be performed in a set sequence.
