Start and turn work is worked on as well. Parents can expect an average of 4 hours of practice per week. This group is made up of swimmers who have a strong grasp of correct technique in all strokes, starts and turns and are ready to build endurance and learn new training methods. Technique work and strength enhancement, including dryland training will be included in their average of 8 or more hours of practice per week. Advanced training methods and continued stroke refinement prepare swimmers for senior swimming.
