Team Info‎ > ‎

Our Varsity program consists of two levels – Junior Varsity and Varsity. As is the implication of high school athletes, our Varsity program will consist of high level athletes serious about their training and their competition. Junior Varsity will prepare the athletes for Varsity training. Admission to our Varsity program is by coach approval and can be revoked if swimmers fail to maintain proper training. This is for the safety of the athlete as our Varsity programs rely on a progressive and regimented training cycle. Attendance expectations are introduced at this level. Absences must be approved by the coach of your level.

COACHES
Varsity: Rob Ramoska - rob@dpswim.org
Junior Varsity: Terry Majewski - terry@dpswim.org

SELECTION FOR VARSITY
The first few weeks of practice will be more of a coach observation time. We will select our Varsity and our Junior Varsity squad and announce it to you. We will be watching for workout ethic, stroke/technique, and general attitude. Simply put, if you sit out, you will not be on Varsity.

ATTENDANCE
Swimmers MUST CONTACT Coach Rob or Coach Terry prior to being absent.
