HYACK's National Program: Senior National
    

The Hyack Swim Club has had a successful Age-group program for many, many years. Our swimmers are consistantly amongst the best in the Province, are ranked Nationally, and are the cornerstone of our Senior National group.


Overview: The athletes in this program have achieved National standards or are within two percent of the standard.

Athletes in this group are expected to be totally dedicated to achieve their maximum potential.

Training occurs six days a week including water, weights, and daily dryland sessions.


Athletes here learn to master how to train efficiently and effectively on a consistent basis. Mastering skills is an on-going part of the daily routine.

Our objective for the swimmers in this group is to excel at the national level (Jr. National, Youth National, and Senior National level). The program is also geared towards preparing the athletes to compete at the International level and achieve performances which enable them to be selected to various national team competitions. Race strategies and tactics are refined at this level both in the practice and competition environment.

Pre-requisite: Graduation from Youth National Program, application for membership by athlete, approval of Director of Swimming. (minimum age 14 to university age)

Practice Info: 10 x per week. Regular schedule is exclusively at the Canada Games Pool.
