From the Junior Team, athletes move into the Senior Group. The Senior group will start to train longer and include more dryland training. Their focus is to improve their technique and race strategies as they get ready for the senior team.
This swimmer trains a MINIMIM OF 4X/WEEK. Otherwise, you will be training with the High School Conditioning Group.
Older and more advanced swimmers may join the Senior Team immediately. Coach Cheri will discuss with the family.
