Minnows Swim Team
The Minnows (formerly Blue Groups) is the pre-competitve swim team within the Mt. Lebanon Aqua Club (MLAC). Minnows team practices take place in Fall (Sept-Dec) and Winter (Jan-Mar) at the Mt. Lebanon High School indoor pool. Swimmers on the Minnows team will be coached by the MLAC coaching staff. The focus of this team is stroke technique development.
Swimmers eligible for the Minnows team must be able to swim 25 yards of freestyle and backstroke without assistance. Those who have completed level 5 of the Learn To Swim program or Piranhas summer swim team are candidates to join the Minnows team.
The Minnows team will be divided into two groups based on ability:- Silver Minnows group practices for one hour on Saturdays
- Gold Minnows group practices for one hour on Saturdays and one additional hour during the week
As swimmers improve on the Minnows swim team, they may move from Silver Minnows to Gold Minnows, or to the Novice group.
