Youth Workouts
Youth Workout Times:
Youth Workouts are temporarily on hold until the Petaluma Swim Center pool resurfacing is complete in Spring of 2025.
Weekday Workouts:
Weekday workouts are one hour long and range from 2000 to 2500 yards. Coach O'Brien will place swimmers in their lanes based on her evaluation.
Each workout consists of a warm-up set followed by a series of short sets (50-200 yards) emphasizing the 4 swim strokes: freestyle, breast stroke, backstroke and butterfly. Coach O'Brien will give correction and feedback to perfect the different strokes. Workouts usually include pulling with a pull buoy and kicking with a board. Occasionally, youth swimmers will practice block starts.
While Coach O'Brien emphasizes correct stroke development, her youth workouts include a lot of fun WITH the challenges.
What to Bring to the Workout:
- Goggles
- Swim cap
- Kick board
- Swim fins and paddles are optional
