The Junior Performance group is for swimmers aged 9 to 14 years who have achieved their Divisional or Provincial level qualifying times. The group swims 5 water workouts per week and 2 dryland practices. Each water workout is 60 to 120 minutes in length with 15 minutes of dryland/activation while dryland practices are up to 75 minutes. This group will compete 10-12 times per season and will attend LMR, Invitational level, and Provincial/Divisional level meets.
The focus of this group is the teaching of sound swimming techniques, and fun through swimming and swim club. Swimmers will continue to refine stroke technique through more advanced skills, learn advanced racing tactics, progress their training distances and be introduced to high intensity work in the pool and in dryland.
All swimmers are accepted to this group at the discretion of the Director of Swimming.
