Building Body, Character, and Team

What is XDT?  XDT is Dryland training done with Silver I and Gold level swimmers who train with Excel Aquatics.  The exercises are designed to develop quickness and reaction times, increase core body strength, and strengthen the muscles necessary to power off starts and turns.  XDT was started in 2002 at a small developmental club, taken to a high school swim team in 2003, and is now at Excel, a nationally ranked swim team.  Over time XDT has become increasingly more difficult to further challenge the motivated swimmers in the program.

During the School Year, XDT takes place on Tuesday and Thursday of each week at 4:30pm for Middle School age swimmers; and on Monday and Wednesday of each week at 4:30 for High School age swimmers.
