Coaching Philosophy

The pre-meet season focuses on skill improvement activities and concentrated work on technique. During this time, swimmers will establish a sound foundation of correct stroke mechanics. Workouts will also emphasize middle distance training, building stamina, increasing heart and lung capacity and developing strength.

During the meet season, specific distance and stroke work is emphasized. There is an intensity of quality sets, continued skill improvement and an effort to communicate training theory. We feel it is important to prevent practices from becoming boring or too demanding, so ample time is allotted for recreation and games as well.
