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
