We started our season the last week of august but unfortunately for us, our main pool has been closed for 8 weeks for some major building maintenance. Because of this my squad can only swim 4 times weekly + 3x1h land training sessions during this period.
So when the half term holidays are coming, I took the decision to not ask my swimmers to swim twice daily as we usually do during half-term: that’s why there are “only” 8 sessions.

This is the progression I actually do with my swimmers . They were born in 2006 or 2007 and they swim between 4’50 to 5’20 on the 400 Fr (SCM).

Water! It’s easy for us as coaches to take it for granted. It only makes sense then, that we should try to ensure that every human being has access to clean water. We have started a campaign through charity:water to help end the water crisis in Africa. To find out more or donate, see Swim Coaches for Clean Water
