Overview

Challenge swimmers are expected to:

• Have a goal of swimming in all Graded and Development galas along with Club Championships and County Challenge if they wish to compete.
• Be on poolside at least 10 minutes before the session to complete an efficient land warm up and be briefed before the session.
• Take responsibility for their own training and development
• Bring your own, goggles, hat, kick board, water bottle and fins to every session.

Training

Training will be based on developing excellent technique on all four strokes as well as starts, turns and finishing skills.

To get the best out of your swimming now and in the future, it is recommended that you aim to attend 2 sessions per week.  It may also help your training if you participate in other complementary sports that use similar energy systems or help build strong core muscles.
