2023 Fall Schedule
Runner Group (Group 1)
MON, WED, FRI 5:00 - 6:00 PM
This group is our introduction to competitive swimming. Group one swimmers will learn to swim with their head down in freestyle, breathing to the side. Swimmers will be taught proper technique in all four strokes. At this point in a swimmer’s development, meets are completely optional and should only be attended if the swimmer is asking to compete. In addition to learning the competitive strokes, there will be an emphasis placed on developing the athlete’s kick and having fun in the water. This group will be composed of mainly swimmers under 10 years old, although older swimmers with little exposure to competitive swimmers may spend some time in the group learning strokes.
Required Equipment: Kickboard.
Monthly fee: $60
Runner Blue (Group 2)
MON, TUE, THU, FRI 5:00 - 6:15 PM
Group Two is for swimmers who have learned the four competitive strokes and are now ready to begin learning competitive skills. Swimmers will continue to develop their strokes, but will also begin receiving more advanced instruction in racing skills (starts, turns, underwater kicking). Swimmers will also begin to learn how to read a pace clock. Practices will be centered on stroke technique development, but swimmers will also be introduced to aerobic training. Kicking will remain important. Swimmers are encouraged to attend A/B/C meets on our schedule and the summer recreation meet. Qualifying swimmers should attend the Junior Olympics. The group will be composed primarily of swimmers ages 7-10, although on occasion older swimmers will remain in the group to continue their development before moving on.

Monthly Fee: $105

Practices will be focused around preparing athletes for their primary events and the group will be split into groups for some workouts to allow for more individualized training. In this group, swimmers need to be focused on improvement from season to season, rather than meet-to-meet, allowing them to develop through a season long training plan. Swimmers in this group will be competing at the regional and national level. Swimmers should be striving to achieve: Far Western, Senior Zones, Sectional, Junior National, and even higher time standards. Year-round participation is HIGHLY recommended. Swimmers are aged 13 and older, and swimmers in this group should remain on Roadrunner Aquatics during the high school season.
