REC GROUP
(Training Stream)
LTAD: Learn to Train progressing towards Train to Train
Goal for this group:
The Recreational program is designed for swimmers who wish to continue developing their skills in a fun, supportive, and team-oriented environment. Our objective is to sustain and deepen each athlete’s passion for swimming while enhancing aerobic fitness and technical proficiency.
Training focuses on refining all four competitive strokes—freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly—as well as dives, turns, and underwater techniques. Instruction is delivered through engaging, skill-based activities that blend enjoyment with the development of essential swimming fundamentals.
While competition is optional at this level, swimmers are encouraged to participate in swim meets for the fun and excitement of racing. These experiences help build confidence, reinforce technique, and foster a sense of accomplishment in a low-pressure setting.
Workouts are structured to improve training habits, build aerobic capacity, and reinforce proper technique, all within a positive and inclusive team atmosphere. Athletes are supported in developing life skills such as commitment, discipline, and personal responsibility through consistent participation and goal-setting.
Academic balance is promoted, helping swimmers understand how to manage their time and responsibilities both in and out of the pool. Coaches encourage healthy routines and a growth mindset that supports long-term development.
The Recreational program offers a flexible yet purposeful pathway for swimmers who love the sport and want to continue progressing. By emphasizing enjoyment, skill refinement, and team spirit, we prepare athletes for potential advancement into more competitive groups while fostering a lifelong connection to swimming.
