JUNIOR Group
Ages 11-14
Lead Coach: Cam(Coach C) Elmer ([email protected])
The Junior Group is designed for athletes ages 11-14 and early high schoolers training year-round for the first time. This level involves an increase in endurance training with a continued focus on technique. Junior swimmers will focus on interval training as well as racing at a higher level. Swimmers will be introduced to concepts of quality training and racing plans/techniques as well as a more intensive dryland program with light weights.
It is recommended (not required) that athletes attend 4 practices a week and as many meets as family schedules allow. At this age, racing becomes a part of an athlete's training plan and competitions become important for individual progress.
