ASP Training

How do we begin training?+

Schedule a free initial assessment here (12+ years). A confirmation email will be sent after date/time are determined. Athletes will be given access to scheduling after the initial assessment.

What is the free initial assessment for?+

The free initial assessment allows us to identify an athlete’s goals, mobility, movement quality, strengths, weaknesses, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This information allows us to create an individualized training program specific for the athlete’s goals and needs.

How are training programs individualized?+

We use several factors to tailor each athlete's program: #1 Mobility: Athletes have different mobility needs. We build active range of motion in key areas while stabilizing hypermobile ones. #2 Sport position: A breaststroker's needs differ from a butterflier's, a water polo wing's from a point player's, a libero's from a setter's. We train to the demands of the position. #3 Strengths and weaknesses: We use Key Performance Indicators to assess each athlete's strength and power, then apply the Bucket System to address weaknesses and maintain strengths. #4 Communication: We check in regularly on readiness, fatigue, and how training is transferring to sport, and adjust accordingly. #5 Timing: Athletes peak at different times, and training shifts between offseason and in-season. Individualized programs keep each athlete peaking on schedule.

Are appointments necessary for training?+

Yes, all training sessions must be scheduled directly in the Aquatic Sports Performance app. Scheduling closes 24 hours prior to each training session.

How many sessions a week should an athlete train?+

We recommend 1-2x per week for beginners and 1-3x per week for advanced trainees. Ideal training frequency will be discussed depending on # of sport practices, school workload, travel logistics, etc. Training frequency also fluctuates between 0-3x per week depending on the time of season.

Will training help prepare athletes for Collegiate Strength & Conditioning?+

All of our high school seniors are given as many tools as possible to handle the demands of Collegiate S&C. Our athletes have gone on to compete at Cal Berkley, Harvard, USC, NYU, UCSD, UCSB, West Point, Santa Clara University and many other.

What is the youngest age you train?+

Our Youth Sports Performance program is for athletes aged 7-11. Our private and semi-private program is for athletes 12 years and older. Our younger athletes go through a long-term athletic development (LTAD) program and use mostly body weight movements to enhance their movement quality/capacity and kinesthetic awareness.

Does ASP only train aquatic athletes?+

ASP works with athletes of all sports. ASP coaches have experience working with all sports.

What happens after the free assessment, and how does pricing work?+

After your free assessment, your coach maps out a training plan built around your goals, sport, and schedule, then walks you through the options that fit. We offer membership and punch-card options to match your goals and schedule, so you can train at the frequency that makes the most sense for you. Your coach will help you choose the right fit during your assessment, with no obligation to continue.
