Some of our SWIM TECHNIQUE classes will feature lower total yardage and more drill work compared to our TRI CLUB SWIM / MASTERS SWIM classes, but each class will also have lanes broken up by ability level and workouts tailored based on who signs up and shows up for each training block with all ability levels accommodated. Total workout yardage will generally target the following, especially for our faster swimmers:
