Advanced includes both younger, experienced competitive swimmers and older, less-committed, experienced competitive swimmers. Swimmers learn more advanced technical correction in all 4 strokes, under waters, starts, breakouts, and turns. Advanced swimmers are expected, but not required, to compete throughout the season at age and skill appropriate competitions. These swimmers will begin to learn to train and race at a higher level. This will include much higher volume and intensity during practice while remaining focused on technique, discipline, and fundamentals. They will gain an understanding of the importance of commitment, goal setting, work ethic, sportsmanship, leadership, citizenship, perseverance, and self-discipline. Our focus is not only the development of the athlete, but the development of the whole person on and off the pool deck. Swimmers in this group must have competitive swimming experience.
