Summer swimmers have no training limits from June 1 to October 31. The meet season begins in July and ends late August with the Provincial Championships. Summer race distances range from 25 metres for young swimmers to between 50 - 400 metres for the older age groups.
Athletes involved in other winter activities tend to prefer summer swimming because it still provides a competitive opportunity in a shorter season and more recreational manner. The majority of summer swim teams’ practice in outdoor pools; therefore, according to Swim Nova Scotia rules, there is a limit to the number of hours summer swimmers are permitted to train with a coach in the winter months in order to keep the playing field level. In Nova Scotia, summer swimmers are required to sign a document stating they have complied with specific rules because to exceed the limit can result in the loss of privileges as a summer swimmer. In keeping with this policy, our year-round program is designed around the following goals and objectives:
- To help athletes establish and achieve realistic personal goals;
- To help athletes develop a thoughtful approach to fitness and nutrition;
- To help athletes acquire skills that will enhance their health and fitness throughout their lives;
- To help athletes develop confidence and a sense of pride and accomplishment in themselves;
- To help athletes develop skills in becoming good team mates;
- To encourage participation in community activities;
- To offer an environment in which to develop self-management and time-management skills
- To help athletes improve their swimming technique and personal best times.
The NEW Fall/ Winter program has been designed to include more physical literacy activties that will also include the whole famiy. Fall/winter training works on both endurance and technique. Although athletes are encouraged to engage in other fitness promoting activities throughout the fall and winter in addition to their off-season swim training, some athlete’s schedules or finances may limit them, The new Fall/Winter Mtc program has been designed with such athletes in mind.
