Class Descriptions - Aquatics

A great class for those who are looking to build upon their cardio abilities while building musculature of the whole body. Building muscle is achieved by switching between muscle groups throughout a workout while pushing to maintain a medium to high heat rate. There will never be repeat workouts, so you can expect fresh sets and creative coaching each day. Specific instruction will be given on how to better improve strokes and become more efficient in the water to each SwimFit member during every workout.

An innovating swimming workout emphasizing all four strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly) and cardio fitness. Ideal for individuals wanting to improve over all core conditioning.

Swimmers of all fitness levels come out and challenge yourselves with intensity being your key. Improve your power and speed in the water with focus on technique and explosive swimming. We will swim shorter, fast swims with larger rest so you can truly test your speed and challenge yourself. We will work in different ways on your power, coordination and timing to improve your fitness as well and lower your times in all distances. The faster your maximum speed, the faster your easy speed for even distance based swimming. Get ready for intensity and fun!

The key to a good triathlon swim is to learn how to swim and function well in the pool. Mastering the little things in the pool such as turns starts, and even kicking, will make you a better triathlete and swimmer in open water. This is why so many top triathletes spend 99% of their swim training time in a pool - not open water! So come join us and learn how to swim smarter and improve your swim for your next triathlon.
