At Spearhead Aquatics, we believe that elite performance is the result of more than merely swimming endless laps! Our swimmers will perform at their best in competition because we are committed to developing our swimmers with a holistic approach that addresses their physical, mental, emotional, and social needs while we work to develop them as athletes and high-achieving, happy people.
 

We've developed a comprehensive dryland training program that is tailored to each training group. Our training philosophy is so effective because we cultivate strong, powerful, and well-rounded athletes! We begin by teaching our younger swimmers on the fundamentals of proper movement, including exercises like push ups, pull ups, squats and lunges. As our athletes mature both physically and in their knowledge of the sport, we will begin to incorporate equipment such as resistance bands, medballs and dumbbells. When they are ready, our athletes will have the opportunity to train in a fully equipped high school weight room. 

We will discuss recovery strategies and will implement relevant techniques in both the weight room and on the pool deck. We believe it is essential to provide recovery tools such as stretching straps, lacrosse balls, massage guns and foam rollers to our athletes for use before, during and after practices as needed. 

Additionally, we emphasize the importance of self-directed recovery practices that athletes can implement at home to gain an edge over their competitors. Adequate sleep, hydration, and nutrition are critical components of this process. We will offer a wealth of resources to help our athletes optimize these aspects of their training.

Finally, we aim to ensure that our athletes are as mentally resilient as they are physically strong. We will collaborate to establish appropriate and attainable short- and long-term goals and develop a tailored plan for each athlete to achieve them. Our objective is for every athlete to approach the starting blocks with confidence in their training and preparation, and we will strive to provide them with the necessary resources to feel thoroughly prepared.
