Athlete Development Policy 

The philosophy of the EKSC program is structured to allow for a graduated development of the swimmer. The philosophy can be summed up as follows. We want the swimmer reaching his/her maximum potential as an athlete and a person.

This high quality program offers the development of technically sound swimming & racing skills, teaches good training habits, which in turn will lead to great performances relative to the swimmers age and maturity. Through sensible programming, sound coaching and a graduated building of the athlete’s career path, will allow for a nurturing of the maximum potential of each swimmer. By adhering to best practices of long term athlete development, EKSC swimmers will enjoy success at all stages of their swimming career.

Many swimmers at the National and International level are in their twenties. The average age to win an Olympic medal is 22 and getting older with each Olympics. With that in mind, the EKSC program is geared for a swimmer’s development to reach its peak when the swimmer is emotionally and physically capable of handling the commitment, dedication, discipline and the demands, while maintaining the necessary enthusiasm to pursue their goals and succeed.
