The Coral Springs Aquatic Complex Program
Older Age Group swimmers join the "big kids" at the City of Coral Springs Aquatic Complex. The Coach puts them through their paces. Practices become more serious and more rigorous while the kids decide where swimming fits into their lives.
White Group
- Six days per week
- Monday through Friday: 3:45 pm to 5:15 pm
- Saturday: 8:00 am - 9:30 am
This group's emphasis is on specific technique training incorporated with interval and endurance training. We swim on between 2,200-3,200 yards a day, increasing or decreasing yardage depending on where we are in the season. Practices are challenging but the group dynamic makes it fun and interesting.
Practices includes 15 minutes of dryland, which includes running and core exercises, as well as stretching. Once a month there is a long timed swim and twice a month is a "fun practice" with relays games and diving. We swim at least one meet a month. Many swimmers are extremely competitive making A-AAAA time standards and also striving to qualify for finals at our Age Group Championships and the Florida Gold Coast All-Star team.
