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. Email Coach Liz to schedule an evaluation.
