SPRINT (White Group)

This is our Learn to Race level and is available at both OCST (Oregon City) and OCST-South (Molalla) . While Sprint swimmers are continuing to work on stroke mechanics, a solid amount of practice is devoted to some training aspects and racing strategies. These swimmers will begin to learn more advanced training skills, like remembering times, checking their heart rate, counting strokes, and following the pace clock. Through these training techniques, Sprint swimmers will learn the love and exhilaration of Speed as they discover new and exciting ways to achieve their potential. With the increased intensity of this group, what becomes necessary is a greater understanding of the commitment and sacrifice required to achieve whatever goals you may have, as well as the important role teamwork plays in accessing personal potential. These swimmers are expected to work hard and give their best, not just for personal growth but also for love of Team. Practices are six days a week and range from 1 hour to 1 ½ hours and include a 10-30 minute dryland session as a part of the practice. Average age of Sprint swimmers ranges from 10 to 13.
