Sprint Swim and Distance Swim Training Programs

Returning this spring 2009, Dallas Aquatic Masters will again add two new training opportunities to the weekly calendar. Practices will begin Tuesday, March 31 and go through Tuesday, September 29, 2009.

For those of you who have decided to take on the challenge of a triathlon, an open water swim or train for an upcoming swim meet, we will offer a sprint and distance training program from March 31 through September 29, 2009.

Sprint Swim Training - Fast swimming with long rest is beneficial to swimmers no matter what distance you are preparing for. Adding a day or two of sprint swimming to your swim program will greatly help you improve your over all swimming, plus it's just fun. For those of you planning on competing in any meet this spring or summer, these practices are a must! During these practices we will focus on starts, turns and stroke technique. The one hour sprint sessions will be offered on Tuesdays and Sundays and begin Tuesday, March 31, 2009 at 6:30pm at the SMU Outdoor pool. The pool will be split on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings - half sprint and half distance.

Distance Swim Training - The one hour distance training practices will be offered Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30pm and Sundays at 9:00am also at the SMU Outdoor pool. The pool will be split on Tuesdays and Sundays - half sprint and half distance. On Thursday evenings all lanes will swim a distance workout.

All practices are open to any active DAM members and are included in the regular monthly membership dues. A free week of practices is available for non-members to try out the program.
