Dryland
with instructor James Hargrove
Information:
Dryland is a very important component of swimming, and at Boar's Head, we are lucky to have Instructor James Hargrove, who has lead the program since 2011. Dryland consists of various exercises and stretches that are valuable to swimmers both in and out of the water. 13 and overs have dryland components in their practices a few times per week. Swimmers only need a pair of tennis shoes to participate.
If in-pool practice has been delayed by thunder, swimmers will move away from the pool and have a small dryland session while the storm passes. Dryland is only cancelled when lightning has been spotted.

Wetland
Information:
Wetland is a fusion of regular practice and dryland. Swimmers will swim a lap, do an exercise, continue swimming to the other end, and do another exercise there. This repeats in one big cycle: wetland. Swimmers will need to bring an old pair of tennis shoes that they are willing to wear in the water to participate. There will be a few extra pairs at the pool if anyone forgets their shoes, but supplies are limited.
