Breaststroke Clinic, Dive Coaching and Other Stuff

Breaststroke Clinic
I'm finally getting this underway and have scheduled dates. I will be running a breaststroke clinic on Sundays through the month of September. Four sessions are planned but if each session runs too much over time then we will go to a fifth session. Here is what is being covered:

Week 1: Body position, arm pull (this may run into week 2)
Week 2: Kick
Week 3: Breathing and timing
Week 4: Individual technique analysis and key drills for each individual

Tentatively we will run this on the 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd (and quite possibly 30th) September. Assuming we have access to the leisure pool again by the 2nd Sept we will be holding the sessions there. I'm expecting each session to take 1 hr15 so we will be starting a little early so we can still be out by 9am, that is, the sessions will run from 7.45am to 9am. Over coffee I have some really good video clips to show that will help illustrate what you are learning.

There is NO COST for this clinic.


If you are keen to do this clinic please contact me via the 'view my complete profile' link on the home page of the blog (once you've clicked on this link there is an email link on the left) and let me know you are intending to come as I need to have an idea of numbers.

Diving Coaching
On Sunday 2nd September Avy will be coaching diving for the last 15 minutes of the session i.e. during the relays. This will be very valuable for anyone thinking of competing but is unsure about diving, and also anyone who simply wishes to improve their diving. If you want to do the breaststroke clinic and the diving, no problemo, remind my on the day and I will make sure you get to Avy on time and I will catch you up later on anything breaststroky that you have missed. You can do both.


Next Club Night
This is to be on the 5th September. Because we missed August's night we are having 'swimmers choice' night on the 5th. There will be a 25, 50 and 100m and you can choose what stroke to do. If there is time we will run 200m also but no promises on that one as it will depend on how much time we have after the hundreds.


Special Olympics
This is on 30th September from 1.30pm to 5.30pm. Just a reminder that if you can help with timekeeping, recording or anything at all then please get your name to John T.
