Winter Training

Swimming is such great exercise. It is a healthy workout that can be done for a lifetime. The activity is low-impact and generates very few if any injuries. Swimming strengthens the body and clears the mind. Our boys have been taking swimming lessons at the YMCA for years and have really improved. We have made no goals to competitively swim, only develop their technique and master the four strokes; freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. The YMCA offers two-week swimming lesson sessions year round, and we sign up whenever there is downtimes between sports. Those breaks are most common in the wintertime and by swimming all winter Davey and Benji enter spring baseball season to top shape.
