After October selling out in record time, we present bookings for November intensive swim stroke correction program.

November ’11– Wed 7-830pm (9^th, 16^th, 23^rd, 30^th)

 

The Program

A four week program especially designed to improve swimming fundamentals including: confidence, body position, hand entry/exit, as well as; stroke efficiency, awareness and technique. The program is best suited to those who want to improve their swimming, but feel a squad environment does not fit their current needs.

The program offers intense help and carefully selected drills that cater best to the individual's needs in a small group lesson. Lessons especially focus on giving immediate feedback in a positive environment.

Throughout the program your freestyle stroke will be broken down to its most basic format including recovery, catch, 1st and 2nd phases of the pull. When these individual skills are understood they will be brought together and correct sequencing of the "freestyle action" will be taught. We utilise a well developed learning strategy that enhances that speed you adopt new skills. It is anticipated that you may need to repeat the intensive program twice over a 12 month period to fully understand and develop appropriated skills/technique.

What you can expect

Results from previous programs have seen students gain greater confidence in the water, an increase in self belief and improved technique and efficiency. This led to increased swimming ability, whilst training and racing, and a greater enjoyment of swimming. These satisfactions also led to them exceeding their previous expectations of their ability in the water.

Information is delivered in simple terms with questions encouraged to ensure students experience the best possible learning environment.

I really enjoyed your lessons; I am feeling a Lot stronger and more confident that I now have the tools to get quicker in the pool. I have already seen big improvements after previously seeing no improvement over the previous two months. Once again thanks for yours and Matts time and patience over the 4 weeks – Mat Thorley

Hi Mat and Jamie,

I totally enjoyed Wed's session. I'm off to the work pool at lunchtime to do some 'practice'.

Thank you again for the lessons. – Sue Nixon
