A reminder for clinic sessions scheduled for May 12,13, 14, 19, 20, and 21 The final two weeks of the spring clinic will be held each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:30-8:00 at the Latshmere Swim Club. These weeks preceding the Memorial day weekend will place a greater emphasis on dryland exercises with pool workouts scheduled as time and weather conditions permit. Opportunities to review week four video recordings will also be included. For more information about Collegiate's spring training and clinic, write to CollegiateAquatics@gmail.com or speak with a Collegiate coach. Our annual spring clinic and conditioning sessions will officially begin on Tuesday, April 14 and run every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for a six week period, ending Thursday, May 21. The first four weeks will be devoted to in water stroke refinement, coordination and progressively more challenging sets for older swimmers. The fourth week in particular will include over and underwater recording of swimmers strokes and the opportunity for coaches to review these recordings with athletes. The final two weeks will place a greater emphasis on dryland exercises that address basic strength, core stability, and introductory exercises for explosive speed off starts and turns. Water sessions are scheduled at the Central Penn Fitness Center natatorium. The weeks of dryland emphasis are scheduled at the Latshmere Swim Club. There will be two in-water sessions each evening. Dryland sessions for all swimmers may be scheduled for the same time but broken out in groups according to age and the type of exercises performed. Dryland times will be determined and announced based on the number of participants and range of ages. Younger swimmers (generally 10 & under) will have in-water sessions each evening from 6:00-7:00 p.m. These sessions will include a greater emphasis on stroke development and basic endurance. Older/more experienced swimmers (generally 11-older) will have basic dry-land sessions (emphasis: flexibility, core strength, and muscular endurance) preceding water time on Tuesday and Thursday from 6:15-7:00 p.m. (some Saturday mornings will also be included as a part of the clinic - details TBA). In-water sessions are scheduled each evening from 7:00-8:00 p.m. Stroke refinement, strength development, and progressively more challenging sets will be introduced for the older age groups as the sessions progress. More details will be provided to registered swimmers and their families via email prior to the start of the sessions. Please be sure to respond in a timely manner. We have had a great deal of interest in these sessions and may have to limit attendance - REGISTER EARLY. | ||
