Practice Schedule
& BSC Groups
The Bend Swim Club has a one week free trial for the following
programs
[more membership information HERE]
GOLD
3:10-5:10pm
This is the highest level training group in the Bend Swim Club.
This is a fairly elite group of swimmers as the commitment involved
is high. Swimmers in this group train 6 days per week, sometimes,
twice a day. Swimmers in the Gold group train 2 hours in the
afternoon plus three 1.50 hour swimming sessions and two 1.25 hour
weight training sessions after their swimming workout. The amount
of time involved is considerable and because of that, the number of
swimmers in this group is limited.
SILVER
3:10-4:40pm
This group is the top of the age group part of the program.
Swimmers must be at least 11 years of age to train in this group,
but consists mainly of 12-14 year olds. This group practices for
1.5 hours per session, and swimmers are asked to attend 4-5 days
per week. The primary emphasis in training with this group is
developing a good aerobic base, with a philosophy of everybody
being good freestylers, good IM’ers, and have a good
secondary stroke. These swimmers will also participate in a dryland
program that involves push ups, abdominal work, and medicine balls.
Dryland sessions are 30 min in length done after practice 2
times per week.
BRONZE
4:40-6:10pm
This group consists primarily of 10-14 year olds. The middle school
and high school swimmers in this group are usually first year
swimmers and will be moved to the Silver group when he/she and the
coaching staff feels they are ready for the increased commitment.
Swimmers in this group do most of their workouts as interval
training with technique still highly stressed. Swimmers in this
group practice three to four days per week for 1.5 hours per
session.
BLUE
5:10-6:10pm
These are usually 9 to 12 year olds, with the occasional
8&Under that has been in the program for a year or longer.
Again, the emphasis is on developing improvement in all four
strokes, starts and turns. Swimmers are introduced to interval
training, but the emphasis is on technique. In this group, swimmers
are encouraged to begin making short term goals. Endurance work is
the major physiological practice goal. Swimmers in this group
practice three days per week for 1 hour per session on the days of
their choice.
RED
4:40-5:40 pm
The Bend Swim Club entry level for 12 & Unders. Emphasis is on
development of all four strokes, starts and turns. Swim meets will
be encouraged when the child is ready. Swimmers are asked to
practice three times per week of their choice.
DOLPHINS (Ages 5-08)
5:45-6:15pm
M/W/TH
Our Pre-Competitive
program for those swimmers that still need to work on their
ABC's. Swimmers must be water adjusted, and be comfortable
swimming on their front and backs to be accepted into the Dolphin
Group. Side breathing, backstroke, breastroke, and dolphin
kick are the main focus of this group.
There is NO one week free trial for the Dolphin Group.
The Bend Swim Club’s Dolphin program is designed to teach the
“grass roots” of swimming, introducing children to the
sport of swimming in a fun and positive environment. By combining
the teaching of stroke technique and basic competitive racing
skills, the young athlete learns about the fun and excitement of
the sport of swim racing. Classes are 30-45 minutes in length and
are taught three days per week. Upon graduation from the Dolphin
Program, swimmers are ready to participate in a competitive swim
program, competing as a part of the Bend Swim Club, Oregon Swimming
Inc., and USA Swimming.
