Marlins of Raleigh SwimTeam

MOR’s Training Philosophy is designed to have swimmers swim their fastest in their late teens when they are physically most mature. We have been very successful in having our swimmers continue to progress into their late teens and 20’s. This has lead MOR to have 45 alums currently swimming on college teams in 2018, more than any other team in the area. These include top 10 teams such as NC State, Kentucky, Florida as well as Division 2 and 3 schools such as Queens and Kenyon. We understand that a child’s swimming progression is a long term process and we aim to avoid providing too much too soon for young swimmers that could provide short term gains but sacrifice long term success that could limit their ultimate potential in the sport of swimming. That continuing to improve has lead to a high retention rate of our swimmers. This doesn’t mean we do not challenge young athletes to excel, but rather we do it in an organized step by step process. To that end, we strive to always provide more as they progress through each level of our program. This comes in the form of the following:
Increased # of practices
Increased length of practices
Increase in yards swum
Increase use of incwater resistance training for 15-Overs
Increase in dryland from flexibility, to calisthenics, to body weight exercises to bands/med balls, to weight training
Increase in complexity and specificity of goal setting
Increase level of competitions
Gradual advance in suits worn from Speedo endurance, to aquablade, to LZR Elite

Progress towards Goals and objectives are reviewed semi-annually with our staff.
MOR has numerous pool locations in Raleigh and North Raleigh including:
