All SwimStrongsville practices are carefully planned with a specific goal in mind. It is a long season and there are many techniques, exercises and drills that are used at various times to prepare our swimmers for peak performance in the championship season. Parents often ask what we are working on and why. In this section we will attempt to keep you informed as to the current emphasis at practices.

Current Training Emphasis:
• Senior - Basic technique / stroke awareness
• Elite - Basic technique / endurance
• Performance - Fundamental skills (streamline, breakouts, basic stroke technique)
• Development - Fundamental skills (streamline, breakouts, basic stroke technique)
