TOLLEFSON SWIMMING

The Greatest Stroke Instruction and Training Anywhere

SUMMER REGISTRATION IS NOW UNDERWAY

Welcome to Tollefson Swimming.  Tollefson Swimming has been instructing and training athletes of all ages and skill levels in the water for 15 years and we look forward to working with your swimmers.  This summer we are once again offering our extremely successful stroke instruction and training at the new pool at Georgetown Prep.  Each swimmer is hand-placed in a small group of similarly skilled swimmers.  Beginning swimmers swim in a very small group with the instructor in the water with them; more advanced swimmers swim in small groups with an instructor on the deck.  Each swimmer in each class is carefully selected for the best learning environment.  The focus of our program is to teach individuals, no matter how young or old, no matter the level of skill, proper swim technique in a non-competitive environment.  We teach proper stroke technique and mechanics in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly, along with dives, starts, and turns.  Swimmers learn proper stroke technique and related skills through drill, and master each skill before advancing to the next skill.

In addition to full instruction for stroke mechanics, Tollefson Swimming offers a comprehensive endurance and training program.  It is comprised of a vast array of swimmers - ranging from beginners and recreational swimmers, to seasonal MCSL and CCSL swimmers, high school competitors, USS Team Members who compete year round, adults, tri-athlete and seasoned master swimmers.  For the younger and accomplished swimmers these classes are a great opportunity to practice the skills learned in stroke class and gain strength and endurance while maintaining proper technique.  The goal is always the same.  The groups are small, the attention is great.  If individuals are motivated in a small, nurturing environment, they will learn.  People succeed when their self esteem is great, and they feel good about their accomplishments.

Our program runs by seasonal sessions all year long.  Our training site is the new pool at Georgetown Preparatory School in North Bethesda, Maryland. This summer stroke and training/endurance classes are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evening.  Many swimmers choose a combination of stroke classes and training/endurance workouts.  Each swimmer, of course, is unique and motivated by different goals.  Please contact us to discuss the best program for your swimmer.

Our summer session runs from June 22, 2009 to July 30, 2009.  Please contact us for more detailed information and to discuss your specific needs.

In addition to our stroke instruction and training program for all ages Tollefson Swimming offers masters swimming in the morning at several outdoor pools on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6:00 to 7:30 am.  Please contact us for more information.
