Swim on Your Own

Coach Emilie has created a variety of workout options on a PDF link below. There is a beginner/Intermediate and Advanced swimmer option. There is also a separate workout titled "Coaches Practice" for anyone interested in extra workout options. Feel free to combine, change, or modify any of these workouts to fit your needs. She would also LOVE it if you sent her pictures of your kids doing the workout that she could share.

Below are some local pools that have "free swim" times and would make good options for lap swimming.
