What does a typical session look like?
What does a typical session look like?
Swimming
We have three tiers, each with two lanes based on speed, which you are free to move about. Our swimmers can train with those who are at their level. Our sessions consist of a warm-up, a skill set, a main set and then an activity for the last 10-15 minutes, usually relays or sprints. Swimming
Water Polo
Our session begins with a warm-up usually consisting of lengths of head up front-crawl, egg beater leg kick and various agility skills. We then move on to ball work such as passing/shooting, then finishing off the session with some set pieces and a practice game. The pool is set to 2m in depth during our training so the ability to tread water is crucial.Water Polo
