is our Senior Training Group. High standards are set by the current
coaching staff which limit the number of swimmers in this group. These
members have met or exceeded the required time standards, as well as
shown commitment to the Club and to their training. Swimmers at this
level are expected to perform well at all meets and expected to commit a
large amount of time to train. Senior swimmers are expected to attend
five evening workouts per week, plus morning practice for those over 14
years of age, as well as Saturday morning practice and double workouts
everyday during Christmas break, Easter break and Summer break, state of
the art training techniques and equipment are included in the training
schedule, along with weight room training for the older swimmers. |
