TSM Training Philosophy

Every group at TSM Aquatics is set up to develop athletes for long term success. Through skills development and building capacity race pace training (best effort for a period of time), we develop athletes who will be able to participate at the highest levels of our sport, including swimming in college. Our model utilizes long-term athlete development concepts to promote sustained physical activity, participation in sport through college, Olympic and Paralympic success. TSM’s training philosophy is one that has shown success on the National and International stage.

TSM GROUP PLACEMENT PHILOSOPHY

Group placement in NO WAY communicates a coach’s belief about a swimmer’s future success or value. Upward group movement is not meant to be a reward, but rather a next step in development. The TSM Coaching Staff views all swimmers as outstanding young people; we categorically reject inaccurate status labels that can be attached to groups. Some of TSM's best swimmers have spent considerable time in developmental groups gaining the experience that would make them successful in our highest-level training groups when they get older.
