At the
Cleveland Swim Institute, training groups are created to maximize the
specificity of training. Our
staff also strongly believes that the social aspect of this
sport contributes to long term success just as much as
prope
r skill acquisition. For this reason, swimmers will be
kept with swimmers in the same grade or age
group.
Commitment: "The
act of being dedicated to a cause or activity"
To be committed is clearly a relative term;
being committed has different meanings for different people and
different situations. The CSI coaching staff understands that each
of our athletes have different commitment levels to the
Sport of Swimming. Our "commitment" is to make sure that your
commitment level best matches your personal goals. Our purpose as
coaches is to make sure we do everything possible to assist and
empower each of you to achieve your unique goals; In order to
do this, you (the athlete and parent) set the commitment
standard and we (the coaching staff) make sure you follow through
on your commitment. While we will assist, suggest and encourage you
on your journey through the sport of swimming, it is important to
note that YOU are in charge of your future and making sure that
your goals and commitments are aligned.
Move up Policy: Our
coaches will maintain an outlook of fluidity in regards
to the placement of each swimmer. Each athlete will be
evaluated and his/her
individual needs will be taken into account throughout the year.
If a swimmer has a need that is not being met or needs more work in a specific
skill area, we will adjust the training group placement to
meet those needs.
"Performance" Group:
The Primary
"Performance" and Junior "Performace" group is an optional
upgrade that includes Sports Performance services through
CSI Athlete. These team-only dryland classes are scheduled
before swim practices on Mon/Wed/Fri at 5pm. Swimmers
may upgrade at any time to the Performance level or downgrade
at any time to a Swim-Only level.
"Elite" Group:
(Invitation
only)
CSI's Age Group
"Elite" Team and National "Elite" Team is for athletes who have
achieved specific time-standards and who have decided to pursue
regional, national and even international USA Swimming
competitions. The "Elite" Group has been designed
specifically for those swimmers who are fully committed to
maximizing their swimming potential.
