Upcoming camps

Our flagship day. Swimmers are streamed into three ability groups after the land warm-up, then work through a progressive freestyle drill set — alignment and kick, catch and pull, then breathing timing and race pace. Poolside video is reviewed with each group, and every swimmer leaves with a written drill sheet to take back to their club coach.

A race-skills day for swimmers already competing at club or county level. We break down the dive from set position to breakout, drill streamline depth and underwater kick, then move onto tumble and open turns for all four strokes. Finishes are timed and repeated until the wall stops being a guess.

Aimed at newer age-group swimmers. Each stroke gets a demonstration-led block covering body position, timing and the one or two faults that hold most swimmers of this age back. Deliberately paced so nobody is out of their depth, with a short fun relay set to finish.

The most demanding day on the calendar and capped at fourteen swimmers. Morning is technical refinement at race pace with stroke-count and tempo targets; afternoon is broken-swim sets against the clock, with pacing analysed split by split. Suited to swimmers within a few seconds of a county time.

The format I’d recommend to any swimmer serious about a change to their stroke. Day one is demonstration and drill progression at low intensity. Day two revisits the same progressions under load, because a technique that only survives when fresh isn’t a technique yet. Lunch break supervised; parents welcome to watch from the balcony.

A start-of-season reset. We spend the morning entirely on alignment and balance in the water, then apply it stroke by stroke through the afternoon. Provisional date — confirms once minimum numbers are reached, so register your interest to be told first.
