Session Details
Swimming
Sunday Swim Feedback Form
Sundays 8.50am, Barnstaple Leisure CentreWe have just completed a winter technique programme and now the focus is turning to racing. There is a varied ability at these sessions from first time triathletes to 3.8k swim race winners. The club currently operates two lanes, a higher and lower ability lane.
Recently we have completed a Video Analysis Session for each of the swimmers. We are now completing feedback sessions for small groups to give the athletes a better understanding of their technique and what they need to focus on. See videos soon to appear on the right....
Due to the success of these sessions the club will be looking to expand the capacity we can cope with by adding extra lanes and/or sessions and/or coaches. This will all begin next winter as the sessions go through a lull period whilst everybody goes out to kick some butt!
Also look out for coached open water sessions at Bude in the coming weeks TBC
