DRY LAND TRAINING INFORMATION

SWATeam's fall ski racing conditioning program. For liability reasons, ALL ATHLETES who participate in ANY training program offered by SWATeam Racing, Inc., must have a registration AND Liability Release forms completed and signed by their parent or guardian.

OVERVIEW

Ski and Race better through Preparation! Training in the off-season, known as 'dry land' can improve your skiing and racing. Dry Land training is preseason physical and mental conditioning. Your training should combine many elements: strength, endurance, balance & ski specific activities. At SWAT we provide several options for working on balance and ski-specific training. The sessions are mainly planned for athletes NOT participating in any FALL SPORT ACTIVITIES. These sessions are great for potential new athletes so they can meet their coaches and other athletes in their groups before the season begins on the ski hills.

The U14 to U18 athletes train on Sunday afternoons at the Mukwonago High School outdoor track.

Dates, times to be determined.

The U8-U12 athletes dryland training program for 2022 not been determined at this time.
