The Academy program is focused on providing swimmers with foundational swimming skills to be water safe and improve physical literacy. Instruction is adapted to meet the physical needs and abilities of every swimmer.
Para Storm Swim Club's Competitive swim program is meant for the competitive swimmer and provides advanced coaching designed to build endurance, strength, speed, technical proficiency, conditioning as well race strategy and other elements of competitive swimming. Depending on the specific program, athletes swim or train between 3 and 5 times a week. A dryland training program for the competitive swim team is offered at Sport Manitoba Performance.
