Between the Christmas and New Year festivities, we spent 3 sessions with 3 different groups over 2 days at Wyre Forest Swimming Club, which is also Amy’s home swimming club! During each session, the focus was on starts, and Butterfly. Not only did the sessions include many new drills to break down the aspects of the stroke or skill, but everyone also seemed to have fun despite being a little chilly at times! We explained to the swimmers that swimming fast isn’t actually that difficult, but it’s about getting the little things right day in day out to culminate to more efficient swimming. We even had time for a ‘selfie’ with each group using our new ‘selfie stick’ (Thanks Mum & Dad Smith) at the end of each session! Thank you to everyone at Wyre Forest for inviting us to be part of your Christmas training, and for a very enjoyable couple of days. Keep working hard!

Just before Christmas, Swim Swift Elite held their 4th successful Swim camp for competitive swimmers from around the country to attend. After the swimmers getting to know each other in the gym, we made sure that they were all stretched out, and their core & other important muscles were activated & warm before getting in the pool, a great way of preventing those unwanted niggles or even injuries. With 17 swimmers attending the camp, everyone had individual pointers when working on drills for Freestyle, tumble turns, the underwater phase, and Freestyle breakouts.

Everyone did a fantastic job, we had a great time working with you all.

Thank you for attending, and we hope to see you on our future camps, keep an eye on the website and social media pages. Thank you also to the staff at Welbeck Defense College in Leicestershire who allowed us to hire their wonderful facilities for the second time, everything ran very smoothly.
