Fitness and Focus -SWJ @ OPS

Do you get a bit lost swimming laps week after week?

Do you feel like your fitness is growing, but your technique is stuck?

Do you feel like you've plataued on a swim distance and aren't sure how to get past it?

Fitness With Focus is a brilliant way to reinvigorate your swim training, adding a supervised swim session to your weekly swims.

These swimming sessions follow different sets, supervised by a level 2 Swimming Teacher offering technique pointers and pacing tips throughout. You can dip in and out, but there will also be progression through the 4-6 week blocks so to maxmimise benefit, swimming each week is best.

The session will have some lengths of different strokes (choice strokes) but these are optional.

swimmers will be across two lanes, depending on speed but plenty of space in each lane for flexibility of speed.
