The Menlo Mavericks is a family-based, non-traditional, non-competitive swim group for youths. We aim to create a swimming community that is extremely passionate about being in and around the water. Find out more about our mission and vision for the Menlo Mavericks.

2008 Mavericks Handbook

The Mavericks Junior Team is for ages 6 to 8 years. At a minimum, each participant should be able to complete one length of the pool unassisted. The program has three main objectives:

1. Prepare swimmers directly out of swim school for the fundamentals of swim team.
   
2. Develop sound competitive skills.
3. Progress swimmers to a skill level that allows for a choice of competitive or non-competitive swimming.

For youths between 5 to 6 years old or who have not been in the Jr. Mavericks program before, please visit the Mavericks Level I page.

For youths between 8 and 16 years old, please visit the Mavericks page.

1. A 10-minute evaluation is required for all new swimmers wishing to register for Mavericks Level I. The evaluations will be held Monday and Tuesday at 6:30pm. Please check in ten minutes prior to the evaluation with the coach. This quick evaluation is necessary to assign a child to the correct team where he or she will make the most progress and be challenged appropriately.
