Training Progressions at South Sound Titans Swim Team

The Titans Way

South Sound Titans Swim Team is a year-round, competitive swimming program for the Puyallup, Bonney Lake, and Sumner area.  We emphasize preparation for sprint and middle distance races after developing a thorough biomechanical foundation in each of the four racing strokes, starts and turns by repeating drills and skills for most of an athlete’ s prepubescent career.  Our distance freestyle program develops athletes whose talent is suited toward the discipline and who demonstrate the genuine desire to endure the training regimen.

                       

In contrast to many swim clubs that choose to intensify the training of select young swimmers, at South Sound Titans Swim Team talented swimmers that are physically and psychologically immature (typically through ages 13 or 14) are kept on the same track as their peers until they begin to demonstrate clear signs of maturity.  As they reach this point their training is intensified as we seek to develop their talent into national level performances. To learn more about why we organize our training system this way please read the information under  How We Teach.
