Lochte turns!

Lochte turns!

I love the attention that Ryan Lochte is brining to turns - and what a master he is at them! It's not about doing them well, it's about doing them so well that they give you a competitive advantage...not sure about his fluorescent green sneakers though!

Well we made it through the Christmas 2010 clinics! Bad weather all around created travel difficulties but a big thanks and well done to all the swimmers and parents who made it through the snow to join us - and a specially big thank you for all the lovely feedback we have already received - now put it all into action...one step (or stroke) at a time.

Well, the Gold Medal Clinics are over for another year and I must say I was impressed this time by the level of concetration of the swimmers (and the parents were ok too!), many of whom attended all three days. In between my lectures, I managed to look in on some of the pool sessions and it was amazing how Bill and his assistant coaches were able to give individual feedback to every swimmer on every drill! The improvements in technique throughout each session were fantastic - now begins the work of ingraining those skills to make them become your dominant response (remember that?)

As always there was a reserve list for the starts and turns day with people texting me on the day and turning up to see if there were any last minute cancellations!

So just to say thank you to all the swimmers who took part and to their parents who brought them along - hope to see you in the future!
