Program Outline
The program is designed to offer extensive training and technical instruction for swimmers to transition from Water Polo or Fall Recreational Swim into the High School Swim Season.
The High School Prep Swim Program at Blackhawk Country Club is for high school–age swimmers only. Training objectives will include: perfecting technical efficiency and precision, continuing to refine racing concepts and race/pace strategies, and increasing endurance, power, and flexibility through volume/intensity. We will spend considerable time focusing on transitions and starts including underwater travel sequences and all competitive turns.
Swimmers are expected to have basic swim skills sufficient to participate in the swim program. This program is not a learn-to-swim program.
Registration refund policy: There are no refunds at any time after registration.
