Announcement: Starting the Week of April 23rd...

Beginning on Monday April 23rd, please have any swimmer staying for dryland training (7:30-8:00 pm) bring a t-shirt, shorts (or pants), and tennis shoes to practice. Weather permitting, we will begin doing dryland training outside on the field behind the pool. This provides us with more space, which allows for a greater variety of exercises or games. It also is more enjoyable for the swimmers to be outside in the fresh air while participating in dryland training instead of on the hot and humid pool deck!


Remember, dryland training is an important part of developing coordination, flexibility, and strength in your swimmer at every age level. We adjust activities to be age appropriate, and encourage ALL swimmers to participate in dryland training as much as possible. USA Swimming encourages all swim clubs to incorporate dryland activities into their training programs:  "Even minimal dryland work can greatly increase the general fitness levels and athleticism of younger swimmers and no equipment is necessary."


If you have any questions regarding dryland training, please leave a comment and we'll answer ASAP.

See you at the pool!
