Our year-round training begins in September and finishes in August. Curl-Burke limits the size of each training group in order to achieve the highest quality of instruction and training. Training groups are filled on a "first come, first serve" basis. When practice groups reach capacity, they will be closed to further enrollment.
In order to be offered a position on the team, interested swimmers are asked to attend one of (4) Open Houses offered during the summer months. At the Open House, families will receive a brief overview of our program and swimmers will be able to demonstrate their swimming skills to team coaches.
If you are unable to attend an Open House please call Susie at 703-250-1299 to make alternate arrangements.

Butterfly Arm Recovery  This week's Speedo Tip of the Week comes from USA Swimming's Biomechanics Coordinator Russell Mark. Mark offers some advice on proper butterfly arm recovery.
The Tip:
The arm recovery should be a relaxed motion, but many swimmers muscle their arms forward instead. Forcing the arms forward will make the back and shoulder muscles very tired. In order to have a relaxed recovery that will not tire your muscles as quickly, (1) finish your arm stroke strong, (2) have a powerful kick at the finish of the arm stroke, (3) don't lift your body up high when you breathe, and (4) let your arms recover close to the surface of the water. If you concentrate on all of these technique points, you'll be able to enjoy swimming fly even more. Good luck! See more Speedo Tips of the Week at USA Swimming's site. |
