Hi Senior families,

I am sharing a basic plan for the Senior Group for the 2023-24 season. It is just a breakdown of the various cycles in their training, what we are working on, testing weeks etc.

This is a “plan”, many things can change depending on fatigue, meet schedule (which will vary for each athlete) and athlete commitment. Coaches may adjust training at practice for individual athletes, depending on goals and meets. The highest focus will be on good technique, increasing endurance, meet and mental preparation, goal setting, and pushing swimmers out of their comfort zone.

This group has a very wide variety of commitments for each swimmer with some swimming 1 time a week and others up to 6. Some swimmers are here for the social side and health benefits of swimming while others are focused on qualifying for higher level meets. Training will be adjusted as needed.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

This is a reminder if you have not yet responded to our upcoming Meets, Pickering October 21&22 and the Home Meet on October 28, please let me know whether or not your swimmer will be attending and send payment to Annette. The deadline to respond and pay for Pickering is Oct 2nd and the Home meet is Oct 9th, if we do not receive confirmation and payment, your swimmer(s) will NOT be entered, no exceptions. You can find more details about the meet in the previous Swim Meet email or on our website Swim Meets | Swim Norac

Thanks,
Trish
Head Coach, NORAC
