Practice Groups

The old saying "Practice makes perfect" is not correct.

The correct saying would be

"Perfect practice makes perfect"

Just going through your practices won't make you your best.

DOING your best in every practice is how you will succeed in BEING your best.

Red 1:

A group for the beginning swimmer.  Will concentrate on rhythmic breathing, freestyle and backstroke.  Will, also, start to work on diving and basic turns.  We would like to see them attend one dual meet each session.  They practice three nights per week.

Red 2:

This group is for a little more advanced swimmer.  In this group, we begin working on Breaststroke, Butterfly, and Flip turns.  We would like to see them start all of their races from the starting blocks.  We would like them to attend 2 dual meets each season.  This group practices three nights per week.

White 1:

This group is for the intermediate swimmers. They should be able to swim all four competitive strokes, do flip turns and start every race from the starting blocks.  We will refine their strokes and introduce  breaststroke and butterfly turns, and some basic training principles.  We would like to see this group attend 3 dual meets each season.  They practice four nights per week.

White 2:

This group is for the advanced intermediate swimmer who wants to get some more endurance work. This group should be able to swim all the white 1 skills and be willing to work hard to improve their swimming abilities.  This group practices four nights per week. We would like to see this group attend as many meets as possible each season.

Gold:

This is our highest level and is intended for the serious competitive swimmer.  This group will train most nights an average of 3000-5000 yards.  The coaches would like to see this group attend every dual meet and 2 USA meets including a Friday night session each season.  This group practices every night Monday thru Friday in the fall and winter but only on Monday thru Thursday in the spring and summer.  This group, also, includes many of the high school swim team members during their off season.
