Swim Team Essentials

This 30 minute “IN & OUT” program is designed for youth who already have experience on a swim team and wants to focus on the individual components of each of the four main strokes, flip turns, and starts. This six class program will focus on only one technique per day. Day 1 - starts, Day 2 - flip turns, Day 3 - free style, Day 4 - backstroke, Day 5 - breast stroke, and Day 6 - butterfly. Unlike other preseason programs, this program is not necessarily designed as an endurance training program, rather skill refinement. All requests for 9 year olds must be approved by the coach.

This program is designed to focus on proper stroke technique for freestyle, breast stroke, backstroke and butterfly. Participants will have each stroke broken down into individual components to focus on arm extension, breathing and kicking. Workouts will be designed to increase cardiovascular output, stamina and streamlining. Additionally, flip turns and racing dives from starting blocks will round out this program. This program is an excellent place for new swim team participants to experience a "coaching" format for instruction verses a group swim lesson. Participants must already know how to swim and successfully passed the equivalent of Advanced Novice.

This program focuses on Starts & Turns as part of our progressive preseason swim team clinics.
