We will work in different ways on your power, coordination and timing to improve your fitness as well and lower your times in all distances. The faster your maximum speed, the faster your easy speed for even distance-based swimming. Get ready for intensity and fun!

The Mighty Mile
In every class there will be a one-mile challenge, whether it will be a straight time trial or a set or sets that add up to a mile, you will do a mile of fast swimming. It may be broken in different ways with recovery mixed in, but the goal will be better pacing and increasing your aerobic threshold. Great for all swimming levels and triathletes, you will test yourself every few weeks to see your overall mile time drop. Watch your fitness level improve, set and reach goals while having fun.

H.I.T.S. (High-Intensity Training Swim)
