This is the youngest age group and requires the swimmer to be comfortable in the water, be able to swim underwater, and be able to swim from one end of a 25 yard pool to the other. Swimmers under the age of seven must swim with the Mini-Marlins.

This group works more on building endurance, learning more efficient stroke technique, starts and turns. Ages in this group range from 7-12 based on ability and performance.
