January saw many of the countries competitive masters swimmers meet in Loughborough for a day of workshops for various land based yet swimming related topics, and a two and a half hour pool session. Swim Swift Elite were on poolside working alongside Great British Swimming Coach Glenn Smith, to deliver 3 different sessions. Breaststroke, Backstroke, and Starts & Turns. The group was split into 3 so that we could rotate, getting the most out of each smaller group of swimmers. We broke down each skill right back to basics, and then built it back up again, hopefully making the focus points clearer. Some swimmers tried skills for the first time, which was great to see. Enthusiasm is key to making better swimmers!

We hope that the drills were not only helpful in informative, but enjoyable too, we definitely had fun working with everyone, and felt privileged to be asked to be part of this development day.

This was the second of our two days with Worcester County Talent squad!

We have been extremely happy to have been given the opportunity by Worcester ASA to host both of their Talent Camps this year! This second day was again held at the King’s School, in Worcester, and we would like to say thank you to them for letting us use their facilities. Clubs from the whole county were in attendance. The pool focus was Breaststroke and Front Crawl, and on land we ran Pilates, Stretching, Injury Prevention all related to swim performance. After lunch a fantastic and interactive Goal Setting Strategy session was completed by the swimmers, hopefully leaving them thinking more clearly about their training and targets they wish to accomplish!

Thank you to everyone involved with the organising and all the swimmers and coaches who attended for their efforts and making these two days highly enjoyable!
