Silver II

Three – 2 hour practices per week

                Silver II places a major emphasis on stroke, diving and flip turn techniques while increasing yardage (2,400-3,000).  Timed sets will be gradually increased.  Dry land exercises and stretching are an integral part of the practice routine.  Dry land practices typically begin 2 weeks after swim practice begins, you coach will supply you with the exact start date.  The swimmer must show a commitment to ALL aspects of the practice schedule.  Swimmers will be encouraged to swim a minimum of 5 meets.  

Goggles are mandatory.  Competition swimsuits are recommended for the boys and NO two piece suits for the girls.  Team suits are recommended, but not required.  If your child has long hair, a swim cap is required.  For dry land practices you will need a jump rope and proper attire (shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes)
