SENIOR 1

The Senior 1 group is designed to take the skills and commitment consistently demonstrated by swimmers in the age group program and build on them with increased focus and intensity in practice. The goal of Senior 1 is to introduce swimmers to a training group environment where individual goals differ, but everyone strives to reach their own highest swimming potential. Ownership and accountability of their swimming, dryland, and performance is fostered to help them reach their goals. Swimmers have practice attendance requirements, with 5 or 6 practices a week required, which may differ based on each individual swimmer’s age, development and goals.

SENIOR 2

This is one of our elite training groups which prepare swimmers for Regional and National level competition. At this time strength training is increased, as well as training volumes and intensities. Swimmers are expected to attend all workouts at this level, as practices are designed specifically for individual race and stroke needs. Click here for current practice schedules.
