The Gold group is designed for swimmers ages 10-14 (5th-8th) who have a desire to train for swimming beyond what a summer or seasonal team may offer. These workouts will focus on preparation for continued participation with our team, either in the high school or platinum groups. Swimmers will spend time perfecting stroke technique and coupling that with advanced aerobic training and introduction to advanced training techniques found in higher level groups.
Ability Requirements:
Swimmers in this group must display legal strokes in 3 out of 4 competitive strokes and possess a basic understanding of practice lingo and etiquette. Generally, prior to joining the group, Gold swimmers can make a set of 10 x 50s on 1:10 as well as 4 x 100 IMs on 2:30. These swimmers will also be participating in a small dryland circuit each day in conjunction with some running and calisthenics. Swimmers will be expected to be on-time and prepared each day for training with a positive attitude.
