Injury Prevention Routine:

Your coach has outlined a regimen of Injury Prevention exercises that swimmers should complete before every swim session. This takes approximately 15 minutes. Swimmers will be required to complete the exercises before beginning training. 

​

You will need a red Theraband for the Injury Prevention exercises on pool deck. We also highly recommend having your own foam roller, trigger ball, and spikey ball for post-training recovery. ​
