JUNIOR GROUP
(primarily ages 10 & under)
Emphasis at this level is continued instruction in the four competitive strokes. Our goal as a team is to develop all swimmers in the Individual Medley. Often at this age, a swimmers "best event" will be a moving target, as they develop in strength and stroke development! Drills will be taught and changed up frequently, as well as learning games to engage the swimmers while focusing on specific skills!! More endurance and sprint work as well as competitive starts and turns, streamlines, underwater dolphin kicking and sculling will be taught and practiced. Practices will be FUN and CHALLENGING!!

ELITE GROUP

Focus is on drill based stroke technique in the four competitive strokes (HOORAY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY!) as well as sprint, aerobic and endurance training while learning to RACE!!! Streamlining & body alignment in the water, competitive starts and turns, underwater dolphin kick, sculling, racing skills appropriate to each swimmer's fitness level. Swimmers will receive feedback on strokes through video taping and play back with a coach's explanation of the changes required...so that they can see what and how they are performing in the water in practice! If your swimmer is willing to decide to make changes to their swimming habits, exciting things can & will happen at this level!! Excellent preparation for a swimmer's high school season and lifelong swimming.
ALL swimmers are welcome regardless of ability level.
