Then
it’s time to join our Development Program at the Ypsilanti High
School pool. At
practice, swimmers work on all four main strokes, as well as starts
and turns. Interval-based
aerobic training is also introduced. Most swimmers in this program
compete in our tri-county SMSL (Southern Michigan Swim League)
meets, although this is not mandatory.
There are SMSL dual meets approximately once every two weeks,
and at the end of the season we compete in all-team championships.
Each dual meet has a featured stroke or event, so swimmers
gain experience in all four main strokes throughout the season.
Four
60 minute practices are available per week.
13 weeks. $180. Want

association of amateur swimming.

addition to advanced drills for the four main strokes, starts and
turns, you’ll receive training in race strategy, interval-based
aerobic training and anaerobic training.
