Just a quick note. One of the best ways for swimmers to progress in swimming is to continue training throughout the winter months. It is a way for swimmers to further hone their skills and be prepared for next summers swim season. 

There are several programs in the area that provide quality training throughout the year. I strongly recommend swimmers who are intersted in the sport to conitnue with year round programs.

p.s. in an olympic year programs fill up quickly so its best to enroll early.
