FIREFISH: SILVER

DEVELOPING ATHLETICISM & FUNDAMENTAL MASTERY

Curriculum & Distances Swum:

The goal of the Silver Group is to build upon the love for challenge and problem-solving established in the Bronze Group by introducing more complex techniques and training concepts. While this group is still predominantly focused on developing proper techniques and swimming with excellent form, concepts such as race strategies, pacing, and sprinting will be introduced regularly. Athletes in the Silver group will also perform longer swims designed to develop their aerobic systems and maintain their techniques in the longer races offered in the 11–14 competitive bracket. Should an athlete in the Silver group pursue High School Swimming, the training they receive in this group will help them be highly competitive. Goal Setting is an integral part of this group’s training.

The bulk of training in this group will be done in the 1st and 2nd Heart Rate Zones. Athletes in the Silver will repeat technical drills for 25–100 yards. Athletes will also regularly swim repeats of 100–200 yards, focusing on maintaining consistency of technique & strategy. Kick sets will make up approximately ¼ of this group’s training. Pacing and Sprinting repetitions of 25–50 yards will be done regularly to help Silver Athletes adapt their bodies for the “feel” of races.

Silver Athletes will have dry-land-strength training during every practice. This training will help athletes in this group learn the foundational exercise patterns: Pushing, Pulling, Pressing, Squatting, Hinging, and Bracing. Athletes in this group are encouraged to play multiple sports and to communicate their schedules with the coaching staff. Athletes in this group are encouraged to attend 3 practices per week.
