This Week's Happenings

Hi all

Over the last few months some of you have been asking about the drills suggested in the programmes, e.g. what are they, how do you do them and what's the purpose of them? We thought it would be good to run a session to explain one or two of them, so…

This Sunday (6th), we'll use the relay time for Tony to explain one of the drills (or two if there's time). Deryn will be a demonstrator/guinea pig.

Two lanes will be set aside for 'free' swimming for those who prefer to continue training.

The drill we'll cover will be "Long Dog", with Tony explaining (a) its purpose(s), (b)  how to do it well and (c) some fine points. Please don't think that this is just for learners - drills like Long Dog have layers of detail that can help swimmers of all levels.

Afterwards, let us know what you thought. If you want more we can do that, or if you don't, we won't.

Finally, just a reminder that Wednesday this week is race night, with 25, 50, 100 & 200 m of any stroke.

Happy swimming

Tony
