Information regarding Elite

 

          For Age Group swimmers (generally 14 & Under), the program is designed to combine stroke technique, conditioning and fun in an effort to introduce to the sport of swimming & develop swimmers into highly competitive-Elite level swimmers..

 

          1st practices start in mid September. A four week schedule is posted on the team website under Practice Schedule. Directions for each training site are posted on the Elite website under Practice Schedule.

 

          Elite’s philosophy is that swimming is both a skill and an endurance sport. Thus, considerable time is spent teaching the skills of swimming. The program is set up like a school, with swimmers mastering certain prescribed skills at each level of the program. To progress thru the program, a swimmer will need to master the skills needed plus will need to show a commitment to the sport thru attending a minimum of 75% of the practices.

 

          For Senior Level swimmers (approximately 14 & Older), the program combines stroke technique analysis thru digital technology; strength building and serious conditioning to produce repeated optimum performances and continual development. Senior Level Swimmers (both Seniors and Senior Preps) will train at Morristown-Beard Monday thru Thursday and both Saturday and Sunday.
