Swim clinics offer clubs and swimmers the opportunity to learn from a swimmer with international experience, I can provide insights into the details of swimming techniques and skills and relate to the swimmer on their level. In addition to my personal experience as a swimmer, I also have a BSc in Sports Performance which gives me the theoretical understanding of the many aspects of sporting performance. In addition I hold the UKCC level 2 swim teaching qualification.
Clubs can contact me to arrange a swim clinic, where I can come to them, and deliver a session based on their needs. Alternatively I will, from time to time, run open clinics where there will be a set programme and swimmers from any club can attend.
If you are a club and interested in arranging a clinic or would like to express interest in the next available open clinic please send me an e-mail, and we can discuss details further or I will let you know when the next one will be arranged.
I am also available for 1-2-1 or group swimming lessons.
Swim Clinics
Clinics will include a pool session where swimmers are taken through an extensive stroke development process. I will aim to teach the important fundamental principles of advanced stroke technique. This includes a breakdown of the stroke to allow for full comprehension of the mechanics of the stroke, essential sculls and drills that can be used to improve and developing correct technique.The focus on these clinics is not on the distance covered or speed travelled, but the aim is to perform each skill correctly, and make singnificant stroke improvements. I hope to help educate the coaches as well as the swimmers, so that they can continue to develop the swimmers after the clinic.
A clinic can also include a talk where I can deliver a presentation to the swimmers, coaches and parents on any number of topics and they get the opportunity to talk to me and ask questions regarding the many aspects of swimming, such as; psychological aspects, goal setting, training routines, racing and international experiences.
