Regional group swimmers must be able to swim the 200m Individual Medley in less than four minutes. This qualifies them for the LMR (Lower Mainland Regional) level swim meets.
 The regional group focuses on learning the finer points of training (learning to train) like using the pace clock, swimming in a lane with other athletes etc. They maintain their focus on the individual medley events as they work their way up the Swim BC ’A’, ’AA’, and ’AAA’ cuts to qualify for the BC Provincial Championships held each year at the end of February (for the short course - 25m pool, winter meet) and the beginning of July (for the long course - 50m pool, summer meet).
These swimmers swim 4 times per week with about one swim meet per month. Our expectation of the swimmers is that they are able to attend all four workouts, although at this level they should also be participating in other sports.
Regional group swimmers need to come to each practice prepared to swim with their suit, WDSC cap, goggles and equipment bag, which should contain Flippers, Pull Bouy (probably a jr. size), Finger Paddles and a Front Mount Snorkel.
For swim meets the swimmers will should wear their provided Speedo brand WDSC suit, WDSC team cap, a team t-shirt. A hoody is also a good idea. To order any team or training equipment please send an email to equipment@winskilldolphins.org .
