Crimson Aquatics seeks to train and develop competitive swimmers. The goal of the team is to provide age-appropriate training that enables swimmers to realize their full swimming potential -- regardless of whether a swimmer has the ability to compete on a local, regional or national level. Our training sessions emphasize stroke technique and intensity training, while still providing sufficient yardage training appropriate for the varying age groups represented by our swimmers. Competition

In addition to competing in meets sponsored by New England swimming, eligible swimmers may participate in U.S. Swimming sanctioned competitions held outside of the New England Swimming jurisdiction. Swimming Zone and National Championship meets. Training Methods
The training methods of Crimson are quite unique. Coach Spring believes to race fast you must train fast. We use several physiological tests to determine the ideal training arm rates (stroke speed), and swimming speed for a swimmer to train at to get the most improvement out of a swimmer. Training at such high rates of speed leaves very little need for large amounts of yardage. The average workout consists of approximately 5000 yards. Since Coach Spring has brought his training program to Crimson they have broken many records including New England, Eastern Zone and National Age Group records. The training speaks for itself with results.
