Programs
Our program structure is designed to take swimmers from an introductory level of swimming to a high-performing, international level. Programs are designed to cater to each individual’s unique strengths and allow swimmers to work on improving their skills in the most high-quality manner. Starting with our Beginner Programs, swimmers will learn the fundamentals of swimming, introduction to all strokes, lane etiquette, and fun swim skills. Our Intermediate programs are focused on introducing stroke technique & improvement, technical endurance, and swimming at higher volumes at faster speeds. Swimmers will also be introduced to competition in these programs. Our advanced program is centred around high performance. Swimmers will learn advanced training concepts as well as race-specific, stroke-specific, strategic training opportunities.
