Senior I:  Coaches: Alex Lindstrom, Luke Weyandt, Daisy Felty

Session Cost: $150 Monthly
This training group is designed for the older (Middle School to High School), more competitive swimmer who is at a maturity level to start more endurance based workouts.  There is still a strong emphasis on stroke technique with more advanced drills and workouts.  Goal setting becomes an important part of the swimmers preparation.  Participation in meets is encouraged as a way for coaches to evaluate the swimmers progress.  Senior I athletes should try to attend 5 practices a week.

Senior II: Coaches: Alex Lindstrom, Luke Weyandt, Daisy Felty

​Session Cost: $150 Monthly
This level is for the most advanced competitive swimmer where emphasis is placed on goal setting, endurance training, and continuous refinement of the swimmers technique.  More specific race strategies are emphasized in training.  Technique remains an important part of practice with the goal of the swimmer becoming more of a complete athlete through competition. Training is focused on the end of season meets.  Strength Training Sessions with Ignition Fitness, May - July are included in the monthly fees. 
Swimmers will develop a season plan through goal setting, training, and meets. Practices for each individual swimmer may vary after meeting with the Coaching staff and going over the swimmers goals for the season.  Meetings and communication between the athletes/coaching staff and parents/coaching staff is a very important part of the season.  Through demonstration of leadership skills both in and out of the water, it is the expectation that the Senior II Athletes be the example of Mantas Swim Club.
