Keeping it simple.

Swim Smooth Squad - Perth   Today on Poolside - CSS Set - Week 9 of 10. Returning onto pool deck in Perth, after 6 months back in the UK was a fantastic opportunity to see just how much the swimmers had improved over their winter period. It was insightful and also encouraging to see just how many of the squad had developed. Many of the swimmers had not only improved their technique and swim times, they also had increased their confidence whilst in the open water. So the question is; How did they do this and how can we achieve those results? Firstly, it is good to know these people are normal, they have families, hold down jobs and have every day  commitments. Squad Session - Perth. The key: Is KEEP IT SIMPLE - get your training right and being consistent with it.

What a Difference a Month Makes.

I wanted to congratulate the Open Water and Squad swimmers this month. Training In Lanzarote July 2013  The New Swim Squad has now been running for 7 weeks at the Lancaster 315 Pool.

Check out what this means at:  http://www.swimsmooth.com/training.html . This basically gives you an indication of the pace you can sustain every 100m for your 1500m swim. It is also useful to help monitor progress and reduction in swim times. An example: If your CSS is 1 min 30 secs per 100m, this will give you a time of 22 mins and 50 secs for your 1500m swim. Identifying What hold you back in the water.  We retested 2 weeks ago and all the squad members had reduced their CSS time. Some reducing it as much as 7 minutes, with most members seeing a 2 to 5 minute improvement for their CSS. This is above average and a remarkable achievement. Most of the squad have just started training regularly and using ...

Summer reflections and Winter Dipping

What a summer, although we had lots to think about with all the NEW rules and regulations, I am delighted we managed to meet so many people over the summer months.  Active Blu managed to run some coach development days for clubs, open water camps, squads, group clinics and 121 sessions for the last few months of the season.  If you have been coached by myself you know I am super passionate about getting people active and dreaming about what could be possible in their lives. I always love to hear about the goals and ambitions individuals and groups have.  This year despite the situation with COVID, I was always totally blown away by the people attitudes and commitment to things. Their passion, creativity and innovative ideas to continue to do what they love and offers them well being and peace of mind.  I also listened a lot to people about how hard times have been for individuals, families and businesses. Its certainly tough for people out there.....so if I...
