Blue: Stroke School*
Improved stroke technique, kicking and the development of good training habits are the main focus of this group. Athletes swim longer distances, applying skills with more fluidity and confidence. Swimmers also begin to attend meets for training and practice.
Bronze, Silver & Gold: Competitive*
As athletes move into competitive training groups the workouts become more challenging. There is a consistent emphasis on technique as building stamina and speed becomes a priority. Swimmers begin to understand the importance of setting personal goals and maintaining a supportive team environment.
Adult Novice & Masters†:
Novice workouts are designed to reinforce core fitness, breathing and balance, as well as teaching correct stroke technique. The focus
for Masters athletes is on building endurance and speed with good form. We also offer Open Water workshops to guide athletes training for triathlon competition.
