Philosophy
Our swimming philosophy is strongly
based in science, namely Parametric training.
We seek to replicate our results
through quality and speed repetition. In other words, training
within a Parametric system focuses on quality over
quantity; meaning that we swim low volume (quantity) with high
consistency for stroke and speed work (quality).
The above is
our physical training philosophy. Our mental training philosophy is
to empower the swimmer to take control of their
future. We aim to help swimmers on
their journey towards swimming success by guiding the athlete as
they learn through the scary reality that their decisions have a
direct reflection on their success.
We may be different than any other
team you have trained with, but we strive to think outside the
box in order to help evolve the sport of swimming.
Training
Our normal training schedule is 4 days a week (outside of meets and
breaks) and we ask that the swimmers to be at each practice, but we
do not penalize for missed practices.
Practices are normally scheduled on Monday, Tuesday, and
Thursday evenings, as well as Saturday mornings.
High school swimmers start at 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and 8:30 a.m.
on Saturdays.
8 - 14 year old swimmers start at 5:45 p.m. on weekdays and
8:45 a.m. on Saturdays.
We space out training to allow for recovery time as well as
allowing for time for homework, family events, etc. We understand
that life comes up and you may need to miss a practice, but just as
in school, that means you miss any teachings of the day and it is
not as simple as reading a chapter in a book or doing a make-up
assignment to catch up.
We are a year-round swim team that trains 46 weeks a year, with 6
weeks of breaks spread out throughout the training season. These
weeks off are usually occur in March, August, and
December/January, after the conclusion of the seasons (March/end of
July) as well as the start of school (August) and winter break
(December/January). The pricing of the groups includes the price of
the breaks built in.
