Swimming, 27th February 2017
Forgot to take my session plan, so I just swam 2.7km front crawl and did turn practice. My turns are definitely improving. Breathing on the stroke before the turn is becoming more rare and I’m becoming more comfortable with turning … Continue reading
Swimming, 23rd February 2017
Couldn’t swim the previous day due to clashes with other stuff, so again I fell back to the old standard of front crawl and turn practice. Swam 2.8km front crawl in the end, practising my turns along the way. Feel … Continue reading
Example videos to show swimmers
I’ve been hunting for example videos to which I can direct the swimmers I’m coaching as examples of what I’m asking them to try to do. I’m not interested in getting them to copy a given swimmer’s style at all … Continue reading
Swimming, 21st February 2017
Didn’t swim on Monday as I didn’t feel particularly well. I’ve missed a fair bit recently what with half term changing the pool times. Today half the pool was roped off for some training thing that was going on and … Continue reading
Delivering the first of my own sessions
Last night I delivered the first of my own sessions to the swimmers I usually coach as part of the post-course work for the Swimming Coach qualification. Friday evening is just an hour session for my group and as my … Continue reading
Swimming, 16th February 2017

Swimming, 14th February 2017
Time is limited this week because there are holiday clubs taking place at the time I normally swim and the pool is also running a lifesaving course that needs to use the pool a fair bit. I didn’t get to … Continue reading

The training course that won’t die
I’m still working my way through the dregs of the coursework for the Swimming Coach qualification. It’s taking a fair while to get everything to what either I or the tutors feel is an acceptable standard. At the rate things … Continue reading
Swimming, 9th February 2017
I was having a fairly stressful day today, so it was something of a guilty pleasure to sneak off and spend some time swimming to relax even though I didn’t really have the time. I swam 2,600m front crawl, mainly … Continue reading
