DYNAMOS SWIMMING
Team Atomica Dynamo swimming is quality, small group swim training with expert coaches for future triathletes, high school swim team swimmers, swimmers who don’t want to compete at meets and swimmers who want to balance their schedule with other sports. Water sport enthusiasts (windsurfing, kayaking, boating, beaching) and any kid who loves to swim will also find their people in this program. Our nationally accredited coaches provide personal attention and technical feedback to each athlete regardless of their speed. Coaches are focused on developing each individual instead of identifying and developing talent for club performance. Participants are not required to attend meets and caregivers are not asked to volunteer.
STRONG JUNIOR SWIMMERS 14yrs+ are welcome to register for our Master’s swims. NOTE: adult pricing will apply and swimmer’s level must be pre-approved by a coach. Email admin@teamatomica.com if you are interested in this option. Masters Sessions can be found at https://teamatomica.com/training/swim/masters-fall-winter/
AGES 7 – 10 YRS minimum Level 3 LifeSaving Society required
Fun, technique and individual attention are emphasized in this TA Dynamo session. Coaches will focus on individual attention and motivating swimmers as they learn how to train. This program goes above regular swim lessons but without the time commitment of a club swim team. This is a great fit for anyone thinking about trying out for one of the city’s competitive swim clubs in the future. Friendly intra-club meet on Dec 10th included in swim fees. Min 8 max 15 participants
Did you know that some of the benefits to swim training in the morning include setting your daily circadian rhythm and prepping your brain for learning by challenging your vestibular system?

Both of the above Dynamos programs offered simultaneously.
RUNNING AND MOVEMENT
AGES 12 – 17 YRS
This program is for all levels and abilities, and is designed to compliment participants’ other sports or Team Atomica swim programs. The emphasis will be on good running technique, agility, coordination and aerobic fitness development. This is a non competitive group and runners are not required to compete. Coaches are focused on developing each individual instead of identifying and developing talent for club performance. Our experienced coaches know that weight bearing, agility and aerobic conditioning are important for teenagers, but race outcomes at this age are not a predictor of future success and speed. Advanced runners will benefit from structured intervals without feeling like they are ‘getting behind’ because they aren’t running 7 days a week like their run club team mates. Coaches will make use of the track, hills, stairs, running path and trails around Riverdale Park
A major focus for this group is teaching participants proper warmup techniques including activation, mobility and drills. These workouts will be fun, varied, challenging and won’t be a year long commitment.
TBA
CYCLING
AGES 12-17 YRS
Participants will learn to corner, draft, and climb hills…all on protected bike paths and trails. Plus, our nationally accredited coaches will teach road and bike safety in all conditions as well as basic bike maintenance like changing a tire. Once the cyclists have honed their cycling skills and the weather turns, sessions will be moved inside to T-Train Cycling Studio where the focus will be on properly warming up, pedal stroke, body position and aerobic fitness development.
