Programs

TUESDAYS @ BROCK UNIVERSITY

Recreational: Swim program was designed for individuals to swim in a fun, interactive environment. This is a game-activity based way for young athletes to enhance their swimming skills.  Individuals will also work on developing their basic swim skills such as floating, treading water, swim strokes, diving etc.

Eligibility Criteria: Swim athletes must feel comfortable in the water and be able to get themselves in and out of the pool.

Swim Team (Competitive): This program is designed for athletes who wish to further develop their individual swimming skills. This is a more structured program where athletes will complete warm-up laps, swim strokes, timed and IM swims. The instructor will work individually with athletes to improve their individual strokes and proper stroke technique such as breathing, arm positioning, kicking their feet etc. The general goal of this program is for Para Athletes to be ready to compete.

Eligibility Criteria: Swim team athletes are invited into this program based on their swim ability and interest. Individuals are looking to improve their swimming skills and understand the difference between the swim strokes (i.e. breaststroke, butterfly etc.).

Overall skills: Each week represents a progression in the skill development. Some participants follow their own goal setting program. Every session focuses on physical fitness and skill progression in the water, an opportunity to grow socially and individually, a push towards healthy lifestyle choices and finding fun in fitness.

Partners: Brock Niagara Aquatics and the Olympic Way– Opportunities to swim in the Olympic Way mini-meets at Brock University as they become available. These are low-key in house competitions.
