Competitive Swimming

DSCF1012

The Phoenix Athletic Centre is proud to have a competitive swim team.  Since June 2009 we have been training athletes in competitive swimming.  Currently our athletes practice five times per week (please see the schedule on the swimming page for details).

We have two groups: intermediate and advanced.  Once a swimmer has passed all of our 6 swimming levels they are ready for the competitive team (exceptions may be made).

Swimmers train hard, but still manage to have lots of fun.  We train all four strokes (Freestyle, Butterfly, Breaststroke and Backstroke) using a variety of drills emphasizing kicking and pulling technique, body position, starts and turns.  As part of our practices we also do dry-land cardiovascular and strength training exercises and stretching.  We also use video stroke analysis as a learning tool.

If you are interested in joining our team or would like more information please call or email us at 462-1366 or pool@ccset.net.
