Further Information:
These clinics are available to all swimmers 10 years and older. The groups will be split into lanes of various levels of ability. Zoe would prefer all swimmers to be able to swim breaststroke at least at club level and have the ability to complete a 90min or 2hour swim session. The sessions can vary from 2000-4000m in distance depending on the level and ability of the group.

The focus on these stroke correction clinics is not on the distance covered or speed travelled, but the aim is to perform each skill correctly, and make singnificant stroke improvements. All time is spent effectively.
Zoe firmly believes that an efficient swimmers will always beat a fit swimmer. Being fit AND efficient produces excellence. Swimmers must always work WITH the water rather than fight against it.
