Bronze and Silver Groups
Swimmers will now move into the second phase of the age group program. Swimmers who move into this program must be able to swim all four strokes and maintain good technique in low intensity interval work. The emphasis begins to change from primarily teaching to an equal balance of technique work and physiological development.
- The focus is still centered on teaching fundamentals and developing a strong foundation in all four strokes.
- The number of practices per week offered at the this level increases from 3 to 5 workouts per week and swimmers are encouraged to attend as many practices as possible but no fewer than 3 per week.
- Athletes begin to do more mileage weekly with an emphasis on low intensity aerobic conditioning. Fundamental skills that were learned in the first phase of training will be strongly reinforced as swimmers begin to swim farther in practice.
- The emphasis on an IM based program will be strongly reinforced as swimmers start to participate in longer distance events including the 500 Free/200 IM and 400 IM.
- Stretching and calisthenics are incorporated in the overall program during this phase.
- We believe in making this program fun and enjoyable through a unique and creative coaching approach.
