Team Sopris is a year-round swim team that serves all levels of interested athletes. We are a family friendly team and strive to provide a safe and supportive child protective environment. We have a highly trained coaching staff, who have been coaching competitive swimming for many years. We are registered with USA Swimming and Colorado Swimming Inc. and are members of the Western Slope League. We train at the Glenwood Springs Community Center and compete in swim meets throughout the state and region.
The Team Sopris program offers six practice levels: Discovery, Challenge 1, Challenge 2, CUDA, Junior, Senior.Team Sopris also offers a High School training group and a Masters swim program. After joining the team, a youth swimmer will be evaluated by the coaching staff and placed in their appropriate practice group. Discovery is the beginning level of our program, and the proficiency of the swimmers increases at each level with corresponding increases in the practice time and intensity.

UPDATES AND NEWS:
Montrose Marlin Fall Invite
Our team swam very well at Montrose December 4-5, 2021. Grace Anson showed outstanding grit in her 200 FR, draining herself to near exhaustion. She dropped time in her subsequent swims. Outstanding! Henry Sanders continues to dominate the 8 & U. Don't be confused by his age, he typifies a mature and aggressive approach to racing. He wins the start and is the first one to the first wall. From there he lengthens his lead. Fantastic! As a team the Sopris Barracudas out cheered every other team. This is an exemplary quality. We strive to create a family atmosphere on the team and family members cheer each other on. Way to go Sopris! We also had a warm “family” time at our team diner on Saturday night. Thank you to all who attended. As the season progresses it gets harder to drop times. Therefore, our focus and effort in training needs to increase. We swim how we train! Coach Bob
