Strokes Clinic
SwimSkills Strokes clinics are a unique opportunity to work on stroke development with a carefully structured programme of drill progressions, developed by a top GB Coach. Understand how the strokes work and why the techniques we teach you are important.
Essential Strokes Clinic
Who’s it for: Swimmers who want to improve their technique (2 strokes)
- Ability Level: ASA registered competitive swimmers (9-16 years)
- Max Number per lane: 7
- Duration: 1 day
- All Pool Sessions are led by top GB Coaches
- Clinics available: breaststroke and butterfly; front crawl & backstroke
- This is not a training session – you don’t have to fight for your place in the lane. All the work is short distance, high quality using drill progressions developed by Bill Furniss.
- Learning in the pool is reinforced by interactive lectures using video footage of top swimmers (the ‘why as well as the ‘how’ of swimming technique)
- All swimmers participate in land training sessions focussing on the development of core stability, flexibility and injury protection.
- One of Britain’s international swimmers will give demonstrations and sign autographs.
- COURSE FEE: £95
The day will begin with registration at 8.45 am ready for a prompt start at 9.00 am and will finish at 4.00 pm.
Swimmers: Please bring a packed lunch and water for the day – hot drinks will be provided. Bear in mind you will be in the water twice and dry kit for the second session might be nice!
PARENTS / COACHES are welcome to attend all sessions at a cost of £12 for the day which includes hot drinks.
