AquaHub Competitive
The sole goal is to get fit and get fast. Ranging from ages 10-20 we teach and tweak the stroke mechanics of each of the 4 strokes in the development squads (10-13/14) and performance squads (13+)
AquaHub Learn to Swim
First steps in swimming while they enjoy and are taught the proper skills in the water
Through stroke analysis and mechanics, we strive to continuously improve the athlete’s IQ in order to bring confidence in their swim and ultimately to make them “race-ready” whether that is for Open water events or triathlon coming out of the water fresh for the bike and increase power and everything required to pull off a great swim-run event. Attention to the athlete is of utmost importance at AquaHub to ensure progress in each training block leading up to the summer competitions.
