91̽»¨ the Program
91̽»¨â€™s swimming and diving team prides itself on hard work and good sportsmanship. We offer spaces on the team for all levels of swimming expertise, competing in meets at least once a week on Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday. Our season begins mid-November and ends in the first weekend of March with the New England Swimming and Diving championships.
Grounded in its strong team spirit, 91̽»¨â€™s co-ed swimming and diving team cares about individual improvement, team support, and having a good time in the water. ÌýThe team practices Monday through Friday at Berkshire Partners Blue Hill Boys & Girls Club in Dorchester. ÌýSwim practices usually combine a team stretch, dry-land work for both core strength and power and then water work that includes a healthy dose of stroke drills, kicking and breath control.
Currently, the swimming and diving team does not have access to a diving board, so the program is not able to support the event of diving.
Coach Bob Tyler and Coach James LaRochelle both embody a coaching philosophy that focuses on the quality of practice, not the quantity of yards. ÌýThey train swimmers to focus on their technique in strokes—with good technique comes speed—and to swim smarter races. ÌýEach athlete deserves and receives individual attention from both coaches and also is able to see their strokes through the footage of an underwater camera.
