Race training & stroke clinics!
Race training clinics for school sports – 90 minute sessions, cost $27.50 per session
- Thursday 22 January: 1.30-3.00pm
- Saturday 31 January: 9.15-10.45am
- Saturday 7 February: 9.15-10.45am
- Saturday 28 March: 9.15-10.45am
Why choose a race training clinic?
- Most school swimming sports take place within 2 or 3 weeks of the start of the school year so, with weekly lessons not starting until 26 January, there’s not much time to get additional practice before these events take place
- Race clinics will give your swimmer confidence and the best opportunity to do well in their swimming events.
- Racing, and learning to race, are skills to master in themselves
- Swimmers will be shown how to warm up correctly to minimise injury and maximise their speed from the get-go.
- Extra attention will be paid to starts, turns, finishes, relay changeovers.
Stroke clinics – 60 minute sessions, cost $20 per session
- Saturday 21 February freestyle/backstroke 9.15-10.15am
- Saturday 7 March breaststroke/butterfly 9.15-10.15am
Why choose a stroke clinic?
- Stroke clinics are an opportunity to learn new skills,
- to spend more time on an aspect of swimming which a 30 minute lesson cannot always encompass,
- to address an area of a stroke you may be having some difficulty with,
- to provide that extra boost to allow you to move to the next level.
