OFF-SEASON TRAINING OPPORTUNITY
Assistant Coach Corey will be offering technique training for any current or hopeful Shorefin swimmer not enrolled in a YMCA or USA winter swim program. Viking’s swimmers and those who plan to try out for CSD’s swim team are also welcome.
📆 WHEN: Dates will be posted, beginning in September, monthly as the YMCA releases their cold pool schedules and lane availability. Dates will be set based off of lane and coach availability. Since this is volunteer, multiple available sessions will be posted each month to allow for planning & hopeful ability of participation; there will not be a set schedule or schedule requests.
📍WHERE: YMCA branches in Salisbury, Cambridge, and possibly Easton at times. Locations WILL vary.
📌ELIGIBILITY: Current Viking’s swimmers, Shorefins summer swimmers (not on winter team), or those who intend to join either team and are interested in developing a stronger stroke and would like more experience. Being able to take constructive criticism to improve their performance is encouraged, as this training will be heavily focusing on technique.
💰COST & REQUIREMENTS: Coach Corey is offering the training for free, however, a ymca membership and GREEN band are required to utilize the cold pool for training.
•Memberships can be obtained at any branch and are valid at all branches of the ymca listed above. For families making $60,000 or less per year, please fill out an Open Doors application for sliding fee scale pricing. Teens 13+ can be on their own membership, 12 & under requires an adult to be on the membership as well. Applications can be found in person or online.
•To obtain a green band the child must be able to tread water for one minute continuously and swim a specified distance without stopping. The green band can be noted as an ACTIVE ALERT on your account to show proof that the test has been passed, and verified easily at any ymca branch. You will need to request the note is added so test will only need to be taken once. Green bands must be renewed each calendar year and you will need to verify that someone is available to sign off and test them before heading to obtain.
Important Note:
-Training sessions are NOT scheduled through the YMCA, lane availability may sometimes be limited or shared causing momentary delays or last minute changes. Coach Corey will arrive early to try and avoid any potential conflicts for participants getting time in the pool and ensure prompt communication should pool issues/scheduling conflicts arise.
-Respect and patience for other ymca members and having to possibly share lane space is a MUST, this is NON negotiable.
-Coach Corey will NOT be responsible for drop off and pu.
