Bronze

The Bronze group is our entry level training group. Bronze swimmers receive a steady diet of technical stroke development along with the introductory training yardage to develop an aerobic base. Bronze swimmers practice 3x/week for 1.25 hours including 15 minutes of dryland exercises before swimming. The Bronze group provides a fun, high-energy environment that encourages a love for the sport. The age range for this group is 9-12 years old. Participation in swim meets is encouraged. All Bronze swimmers are USA Swimming registered athletes. 

Equipment needed: Water bottle (no glass), kick board, long blade fins, training suits, goggles, and cap. Riptide Team Gear if participating in swim meets. (Riptide suit, cap and team t-shirt)
