Adult Swim Coaching – Fitness & Stamina:

For confident swimmers looking for a challenging workout

These sessions are for adult swimmers and are different from swimming lessons – they focus on fitness and endurance. Expect to swim up to 3,000 metres using a variety of strokes, drills, and pace work to help improve your stamina and overall swimming performance.

• Autumn term: Introduce short bursts of speed work to develop power and pace.
• New Year: Combine speed and endurance training to improve overall performance.
• By Easter: Sessions become more goal-focused – whether that’s open water swimming, triathlon preparation, marathon swims, competitive events, or simply maintaining fitness and confidence in the water.

Session times:

• Mondays: 9am to 10am
• Tuesdays: 6:30pm to 7:30pm 
• Thursdays: 9am to 10am
