Training
Philosophy
SWAC uses a ‘progressive’ age
group program designed to develop a swimmer physically, mentally
and emotionally in a systematic fashion. A well-defined,
long-term approach of gradually increasing performance levels is
crucial for optimal performance during a swimmer’s mental and
physical prime. In the early stages of participation, emphasis is
placed on developing technical skills and a love for the
sport. In the later years more demanding physical and mental
challenges are introduced in training.
