HOW IS THE PROGRAM
STRUCTURED?
The Phoenix Swim Club (PHX) program is
designed to enable each of its swimmers to systematically progress
from the beginning to the elite level of performance by
establishing clearly defined priorities, training plans, and
performance standards for each level of instruction. Training
groups are organized so that all of the swimmers in a particular
group will be compatible with respect to age, training ability, and
commitment levels. The emphasis in the early stages of development
is placed on skill and attitude development. As the swimmers
progress, a more demanding physical and psychological challenge is
gradually introduced. The commitment level ranges from
approximately two hours per week for the young beginner to
“whatever it takes” for the aspiring Olympian. Although
participation through all of the levels of instruction is the goal
for every swimmer, each level will provide a valuable and rewarding
experience in its own right.
