Fall 2010

Swimming

About the Program: The OTC swim program is aimed at helping participants develop a strong, efficient, streamlined stroke then add further fitness and power to the equation. The result is fitness, strength and speed.  In the first few weeks we will do approximately 20 minutes of drill and 40 minute of swimming after which the division will then move to 10/50, drill/swim.  Ample opportunity will be given for those more experienced swimmers to maximize their volume while new swimmers will only swim as much as they are comfortable with.  All participants will benefit from ongoing feedback from the coach.  While we welcome all levels, we do ask that you are able to swim 50m continuously before starting the program.  Members take part in one of the three weekly swims.
Session: We train indoors from first week of October to the last week of June after which our swim program moves to Britannia Beach for open water swims for July and August.  Our members register for one coached club swim per week.  Many members swim an additional session(s) on their own during the week while some simply do the one swim with the club.
