Description of Competitive Team:
All ages can participate in the competitive team. A minimum of one year of swimming is required to be on the competitive team or up to the coaches' discretion based on swimmers ability. At this level kids are comfortable with all four swim strokes. Technique is still developed through increased distance and speed. Coaches develop individual training session to further enhance swimmers potentials and reach swimming goals. Swim meets (duel and open meets) are required to be on the competitive team. Prior to swim practice coaches work on dry-land stretches and core strength training. Furthermore, we discuss swim strategies, and/or swim meet wrap up. At this level swimmers also swim an additional day (Saturday 8:00-9:00AM). At the competitive level, kids start focusing on time trials and personal achievements. Swimmers practice all stokes and enhance their specialty stroke. Kids also perfect starts and turns for each stroke. This is a competitive group that will compete about once a month. Practices are longer and harder. Attending swim meets are mandatory at this level. . See schedule/calendar for practices and swim meets..
