Training smart is key. Great to see our AGR swimmers bringing their water bottles and staying hydrated between workout sets.

Our AGR swimmers trying something new during their back starts practice: 1) explosive jump
2) follow your hands to enter into the water
3) DON’T BREAK THE PAINTERS’ TAPE! 😄

What a great Wednesday evening practice with the Masters. Had a great time learning how to pull effectively when swimming breaststroke. Do you prefer the “triangle” or the “heart”?

Check out the attempted diagram from coach .

Coach .h.22 running a technical “sesh” with training fins on a Friday morning.

Pool is reopening again this afternoon. Practice is back on. Thanks everyone for you patience

Georgina Rapids making our debut at the first Masters competition @ the Etobicoke Olympium. Thanks for hosting and giving this great community of swimmers a chance to race again.

Incredible to see our swimmers pushing and breaking seeding times at their first in house time trial. This is just the beginning.

An event cannot happen without the incredible officials volunteering tonight for the club’s very first in-house time trial. Touched by the support of this small mighty community’s dedication to helping our young swimmers grow

Glad our swimmers made it out to our Friday morning practice, safe and sound. Hope everybody have a great Family Day weekend.

See you all next week!

Swim training is more than just technique and speed. Today, our Development Division worked on building their mental toughness and maintaining a consistent pace and proper technique.
