Advanced Swimming- Fitness Conditioning - 210200

This course is designed for intermediate and advanced swimmers who want to improve their fitness and technique through workouts and drills. To accommodate multiple skill levels, this class may be divided into two groups. Workouts will focus on improving technique and building endurance. More advanced workouts will be provided for swimmers who enjoy swimming as a method of improving cardiovascular performance and maintaining their fitness level. This class will focus on applying the basics of fitness swimming, including technique drills, flipturns, diving, reading a pace clock, interval training, and creating personalized workouts. Instructors will critique students’ strokes and offer individualized feedback. Students will be taught starts and efficient turning styles if these skills are not already mastered. This class takes place in our Competition Pool.
