Elite Group
Swimmers with the appropriate dedication, desire, and talent move to the advanced training level. This training program is very demanding with a very heavy emphasis on distance based physiological training.
- Success over the long-term remains a high priority. We believe it is our responsibility to provide an aerobic-based training foundation that will allow our athletes to achieve ultimate success in their college years.
- Work within various energy systems becomes an important component of the overall training program. Emphasis is still heavily aerobic, but specificity of training for stroke and distance becomes part of the program.
- While mileage completed is an important consideration, attention to detail and improvement in stroke technique is highly valued. Efficiency and technical precision are key components to success at the elite levels of swimming.
- Swimmers are still encouraged to compete in a variety of events at this level.
- The commitment level required at this level in the program is very high with swimmers expected to attend 8-9 workouts per week during the school year and 9-10 workouts in the summer months.
- Strength training with free weights and machines is a standard part of the training program. The flexibility program is a critical part of the program.
