The focus of this group is to refine and continue to develop the swimmer’s skills with more exposure to conditioning and endurance training. 

 All of the swimmer’s other activities, such as soccer, baseball, dance, etc. are encouraged. 

Swimmers generally compete in SBSC hosted inter-squad and sanctioned invitational meets and are encouraged to attend at least 3-5 practices offered each week.

More experienced swimmers generally compete in local level swim meets and possible travel out side of the state. 

Skills are still being developed to advance to the next level. Progression to the next level is based on age (Junior White) or achievement (Junior Blue).

Promotion to Junior Blue will be offered on 2/1, 6/1 or 9/1 after a swimmer's 12th birthday (whichever is the soonest).

Swimmers may be eligible for Junior Blue if:

1. they have achieved three 11-12 BB times in two different strokes.
2. they have completed the 11-12 IMX
3. they can complete the following practice sets:
   1. 8 x 25 @ :30
   2. 6 x 50 Kick with a board @ 1:10 
   3. 8 x 50 Free @ :45
   4. 4 x 100 Free @ 1:40 
   5. 4 x 100 IM @ 2:00 

Junior Blue eligible swimmers may be promoted earlier if they have achieved three 11-12 year old WAG/JAG/JO times.  Note those must be in 2 strokes and in different distances (ie. no LCM and SCY in the same event).  Only one 50 time can count towards the three times.  

If a Swimmer is 13, is legal with all strokes, has good work ethic, attends 4-5  days of Waves practices and attends USAsectioned swim meets, this swimmer may be eligible to move up based upon recommendation by the Waves Lead Coach and approval by Head Coach. 

All Waves families are required to complete 15 Service Hours per year. Participating in the teams annual Narwhalathon is highly encouraged with a goal of $200 Fundraising.
