Long-Term Athlete Development – Learn to Train and Train to Train

Training is structured around the Learn to Train and Train to Train objectives of Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD).

This group is for swimmers 12 years old and under who are working on consolidating skills and building their fitness.

During this stage, young swimmers are expected to learn how to train and develop their swimming skills. 

Swimmers will learn the importance of the proper warm-up/cool-down, how to stretch their muscles, basic hydration/nutrition tips, and strategies for fast recovery. The main focus is the training.

At competitions, coaches check the progression/development of the skills that have worked with their swimmers.
