Service Description

The Pool Squad runs every Saturday at 07:30.. This session is designed for all OWS swimmers, both Experienced and Beginner. The workouts are for all abilities and consist mostly of freestyle with an additional focus on technique, particularly for BEGINNER swimmers, and speed and endurance with open water swim skills too. The first nine weeks (that's this 2024 block) is pure technique. We will not be aiming to cover much distance or hit sprint performance. It is a pure, simplified, swimming technique from the ground up, literally. The first few weeks we begin on the poolside with some exercises and movements without the added difficulty provided by the water. By the last session, I hope for everyone to feel like they can hold a well-improved stroke for at least 25m. In the 2025 block, we will have 12 weeks (January, February and March). In January we will be focusing on holding the quality form over a longer distance, with no speed involved, just technique and gradual distance progression. February is about maintaining that quality over distance and also Trying to hold the quality form and sprint! In March we start looking at a race/event speciality. If you make all the sessions between now and March you will be going into the 2025 season with a good set up to train hard and gain swim fitness. There are four lanes. Each lane follows a slightly different set to cater for faster and slower swimmers. To get to the pool, enter on Buckeridge Rd (upwards.steam.fire). There is parking on site near the pool. Drive to the white house and then follow the road down to the right, you will arrive at the car park which is pretty much in the middle of the school site. You do need some kit for these sessions: - kick board - pull buoy - fins There are no changing rooms so changing is on poolside (a bit like being at the beach). Dry robes are recommended.
