The Tiger Group is the third level of competitive training for Tiger Aquatics.  At this level, aerobic training is introduced through distance freestyle and IM based sets. There will be a focus on maintaining & developing proper technique, developing long term vs. short term goal setting techniques, and nutritional awareness.  A seasonal training mentality will be introduced which will prepare athletes to succeed through all levels of swimming.  All swimmers will learn the discipline & dedication needed to "train" through soreness & fatigue in mid-season in order to peak at the end of season championship meets, as dictated by the coaching staff. Tigers practice 5 days a week M-F with occasional Saturday practices offered.

This group prepares our athletes for the Senior & Elite Groups. Basic dryland training is introduced for this group as well.  Dryland training will be on Tuesday & Thursday afternoons, beginning a half hour prior to the regular swim practice times.

Equipment Needed:  Kickboard, Pull Buoy, Fins, Paddles & Snorkel

Dryland days: workout clothes, running shoes.
