ROCKINGHAM — Summer workouts for the Richmond Senior High School swimming program started Tuesday and will continue the next two months.
Joining the likes of Richmond’s volleyball, boys’ soccer and girls’ tennis programs, the swimming program is trying to get a jump on the upcoming season.
Although Raider and Lady Raider swimmers won’t compete until the winter sports season, that’s not stopping head coaches Lauren Brewer and Christine Haber from getting swimmers in the pool.
Interested swimmers who are rising ninth to rising 12th graders can participate in the workouts as long as they have a current or updated physical on file with the school.
Set for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer, the workout sessions are being held at Browder Park’s outdoor pool. Each daily session runs from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
Brewer said workouts are open to returning swimmers, as well as student-athletes who are new to the sport. She added that the main areas of focus are strengthening fundamentals, learning new events and building stamina.
The dates for summer swim workouts are:
June 9-11
June 16-18
June 30-July 2
July 28-30
August 4-6
