Workouts
Our primary goal is to have fun! Our secondary focus is to provide an atmosphere where our swimmers can train to swim more efficiently and effectively
Workouts typically consist of a warm-up, drill set, main set and a cool down. There can also be a kick set or sprint set. This pattern is not always the case but is typical. Our daily yardage can reach 3500-4000 yards. Each person can modify the workout for their own time constraints or ability level. Some of our slower lanes will only go 2500 yards with the benefit of the same basic workout. We utilize both interval work and interval of rest (IR). IR is the number of seconds between each repeat. In an interval set, please feel free to adjust the interval for your own needs.
