Information regarding Elite

For Age Group swimmers (generally 14 & Under), the program is designed to combine stroke technique, conditioning and fun in an effort to introduce to the sport of swimming & develop swimmers into highly competitive-Elite level swimmers..

�� 1^st practices start in mid September. A four week schedule is posted on the team website under Practice Schedule. Directions for each training site are posted on the Elite website under Practice Schedule.

Elite�s philosophy is that swimming is both a skill and an endurance sport. Thus, considerable time is spent teaching the skills of swimming. The program is set up like a school, with swimmers mastering certain prescribed skills at each level of the program. To progress thru the program, a swimmer will need to master the skills needed plus will need to show a commitment to the sport thru attending a minimum of 75% of the practices.

For Senior Level swimmers (approximately 14 & Older), the program combines stroke technique analysis thru digital technology; strength building and serious conditioning to produce repeated optimum performances and continual development. Senior Level Swimmers (both Seniors and Senior Preps) will train at Morristown-Beard Monday thru Thursday and both Saturday and Sunday.
