As we have come to expect our swimmers covered themselves in glory at the Mount Maunganui State Ocean Swim. Competition was very stiff indeed and a top 10 finish was not to be sneezed at. Most of our swimmers achieved this and top performer was Avy Judelson who came home with a win in her age group.

Freestyle Clinic
You've been asking for it and here it is. The dates have been set and I will be running the freestyle clinic over 5 weeks, 1 hour each session, in the coaching lane on Monday evenings (Tony will still be available for video etc during this time). You need to sign up for it (see below). Here are the dates:
Monday 6th April, 15th April, 22nd April, 29th April and 5th May
What will be covered?
Session One: Body position, kick - the foundations of swimming are laid right here.
Session Two: Arms - these are a swimmers oars, are you using them to best advantage?
Session Three: Arms (Advanced) - Early Vertical Forearm (EVF). What is it, why do it, and now the how. A series of progressions to help you achieve EVF and dramatically improve your speed.
Session Four: Breathing and Timing - The glue that binds it together. The finer details that turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.
Session Five: Individualised stroke correction - each swimmer will be given one or two personalised key drills that they should do during training to help them improve their freestyle.
Sign up. So I have an idea of numbers please let me know by 30th March if you plan to attend.
