Swim Program Philosophy

As an athlete we all have strengths and weaknesses. For many swimmers they struggle with basic technique, while others have learned the technique in drill form and struggle to convert it to faster swimming. Lastly, for those of you fortunate enough to have excellent technique and mechanics it can be hard to find a scientifically backed fitness program that isn't full of "junk" or "filler" yardage. Our vision was to create a club where each swimmer was able to work on their limiters to produce the best result in the most time efficient manner.

How The Program Works

We have rented out the entire Swimming complex at Suffolk community college of Brentwood on Sunday mornings from 7:00 to 9:00am. This multi-million dollar state of the art facility houses an impressive 12 lane swimming pool, which we have separated into three Focus areas:

• Technique Imprinting Program (TIP)

  This is for either the beginner swimmer and triathlete who needs to build a foundation of technique, or the athlete who wants to revamp their stroke to break through a swimming plateau. Under the watchful eye of Joe Petrush, go through a logical step by step process over 4 weeks to learn how to swim more efficiently than ever before. Experience new drills and practice them while getting direct feedback from a master stroke technician. Achieve balance and comfort in the water while imprinting these crucial movements. This is your first step towards an injury free swimming career full of enjoyment and personal bests. If you have any questions or would like help deciding which programs would suit you best please call or email the studio today.

• Technique Application Program (TAP)

  In this program, swimmers will translate techniques learned into fluid and fast freestyle. We have dedicated pool space specifically for those swimmers who know the drills and principles of effective swimming technique, but need help converting it into quicker times. Your coach will further refine your stroke by building on your prior imprinting work, but in a manner that is conducive to whole stroke swimming and increasing speed. Lastly, the workout will be structured in a way that improves your fitness and familiarizes you with how world class swimmers and triathletes train. If you have any questions or would like help deciding which programs would suit you best please call or email the studio today.

• Fitness and Conditioning (F&C)

  This section of the pool is for all level of swimmers who have graduated from the prior two steps or display proper swimming technique. Athletes have the choice of either a one hour session or a full two hour session (which we only recommend for very strong swimmers and certain Iron distance athletes). All swimmers must complete a swimming assessment test to profile their velocities across all metabolic systems. Placement is then with swimmers that will push you in the area of swimming we feel is crucial to your success. These practices will be coached by Damian Bergamaschi, an accomplished Collegiate swimmer and nationally top ranked Triathlete. As a former Division I swimmer Damian routinely endured 40,000+ yard weeks. After a several year layoff he is now setting personal bests in the pool on less than 15,000 yards a week by applying scientific principles tested in labs and proven in the pool. Expect to be challenged, expect to learn off-stroke, expect to learn flip turns... most importantly expect to get FAST!
