2009-2010 Short Course Season Training Group
Information
Stroke
Development: This introductory group is for
swimmers who are just beginning in the sport of
swimming. Swimmers must be able to do freestyle with rotary
breathing. Basic mastery of freestyle and backstroke, as well
as the introduction to butterfly and breaststroke are the primary
goals of the Stroke Development Program. There are no meet
requirements, however all swimmers are encouraged to swim at NWOWI.
Practices will be held in the short lanes of the pool. The
group is divided into two age groups: Group B is for ages 10
and under, limited to 20 swimmers. Group A is for ages
11 years and over, limited to 16 swimmers.
Red: Red
is our second level of developmental groups, and is for beginners
(ages 7-9) who know the four competitive strokes, but need coaching
to put them together in order to swim strokes legally and more
efficiently in swim meets. Basic mastery of the four
competitive strokes and turns are the primary goals of this
group. Swimmers are required to participate in a specified
number of meets. Practices will be held in the long lanes of the
pool. This group is limited to a total of 40
swimmers. The Red Group offers two levels of training and
competition commitment: Red A (advanced) & Red
B (basic).
White: White is our
introduction into training group. These swimmers (ages 9-12)
know all four competitive strokes legally. Swimmers are
introduced to basic training methods with emphasis on proper stroke
technique, technical refinement, understanding the pace clock, and
other swimming skills. Swimmers are required to participate in
a specified number of meets. Practices will be held in the long
lanes of the pool. This group is limited to a total of 40
swimmers. The White Group offers two levels of training and
competition commitment: White A (advanced) &
White B (basic).
Blue: Blue is
designed for swimmers (ages 11-14) making preparations for the
Senior Group level of training and competition. Swimmers begin
to use training methods to improve fitness levels, including more
extensive dry-land conditioning, stroke technique, and proper
training and race strategies. Technique is still emphasized,
but a shift is made towards higher levels of
training. Swimmers are required to participate in a specified
number of meets. This group is limited to a total of 40
swimmers. The Blue Group offers two levels of training and
competition commitment: Blue A (advanced) & Blue
B (basic).
Senior: Senior Group
is for national, advanced and intermediate-level high school
swimmers. This group is offered before and after the high
school season, along with the long course season. Swimmers in
this group train to reach their personal potential. Goals and
training programs are developed to maximize individual
abilities. Swimmers are encouraged to attend the uppermost
levels of competition as discussed with the Senior Group coaching
staff. This group is limited to a total of 36
swimmers. The Senior Group offers two levels of training and
competition commitment: Senior A & Senior
B. Senior A practices 5 days per week until
the high school season begins and 2-3 weeks after the high school
season ends. Senior B is for swimmers seeking ongoing
training and conditioning preparation for the winter high school
swim season, without a meet or practice commitment. The group
focuses on training methods to improve stroke technique, proper
training and race strategies.
