Fall

Penguin Swimming

Swim Training will be based on a variety of types of training that will be building the foundation for swimming outside of the pool. The training on land is designed specifically for swimmers of any level, as well as for triathletes. The training will include dry swimming, running and overall functionality work. During dry swimming, participants will be working with resistance bands, doing exercises for correct stroke technique, endurance training and flexibility, as well as exercises for practicing the swimmer's muscle memory. This will allow students to be active, become stronger and get them prepared for swimming, since the dryland training will further translate into the pool and the swimmers will improve their overall physical fitness and technique. It will also develop the functionality of the body of a swimmer.

Offer sport for MS students 2x/week Monday - Thursday
