H2okie Aquatics Consists
of 3 Programs: Stroke School, the Age Group Program, and the Senior
Program. Swimmers move through the different levels of each
program as they develop the physical, mental, and emotional skills
necessary for success at the next level. Swimmers entering
our program for the first time will meet with a coach and be placed
in the appropriate group based on that swimmer's age and ability
level. Below is a brief description of our 3
programs.
Stroke School
Our
Stroke School Program is designed for swimmers that are
still early in their swimming development. The primary focus of the
Stroke School program is developing the fundamentals of the four
competitive strokes including establishing proper swimming body
position, learning to breathe efficiently, building the
coordination for the arms and legs to work together while swimming,
and learning dives, turns, and more. There are 3 levels of
Stroke School: SS1, SS2, and SS3. Stroke School swimmers have
either a M/W or T/H weekday schedule as well as a Sunday option for
all groups. SS1, SS2, and SS3 may choose to practice 2-3 days
per week. Swimmers are placed in the appropriate level based
on their skill development.

Age Group Program
Our
Age Group Program is designed for swimmers who have swam
competitively before, either with a summer league swim team, or
with H2okie Aquatics or another competitive swim program.
Stroke refinement is the major focus of the Age Group
program. As swimmers progress through the Age Group Program,
they will develop 4 proper, efficient strokes, begin to increase
their daily training volume, and begin to execute the fundamentals
of training and racing. There are 3 levels of the Age Group
Program: AG1, AG2, and AG3. Swimmers are placed in the appropriate
level based on their physical ability, skill development, and
maturity level.

Senior Program
Our
Senior Program is designed for swimmers who are 13-18
years. The goal of the Senior Program is to group swimmers
together who have similar goals and provide the instruction,
motivation, and training necessary to help every swimmer achieve
their goals in this sport. There are 3 levels of the Senior
program: SR1, SR2, and SR3. Swimmers are placed in the
appropriate level based on their physical ability, skill
development, commitment level, and practice/meet
performance.

Senior Prep Program
The
Senior Prep Program is designed for swimmers 11-17
years old who desire to improve their stroke technique and fitness
without a focus on competitive swimming. Some swimmers use
the Senior Prep program to bridge the gap from recreational
swimming or swim lessons to competitive swimming, but most are not
interested in participating in swim meets. The focus of the
program is on the development of the 4 strokes and learning the
fundamentals of efficiency in the water. Swimmers are placed
into this level based on age and ability.
