REC LEAGUE
SWIM TRAINING IN A FUN ENVIRONMENT
The primary goal of Tide Rec League is to provide swimmers with an opportunity to enhance their skills and fitness without the commitment of a competitive team.
This program focuses on:
- Refining technique in all four strokes
- Building swimming skills for overall swimming strength
- Introducing swimmers to the structure of swim team practices
- Maintaining swimming skills during the off-season
- Making swimming an enjoyable and confidence-building activity
- Creating a social and supportive environment where swimmers can connect and have fun together
Athletes train in 8 week sessions - no year round commitment
New swimmers must be evaluated to assess skills. Sign up for a new swimmer evaluation HERE
