Prehab - Keeping healthy and Injury Free


DATE: 26th Nov 2017 - 2pm to 6pm. 

Venue: 315 Health Club, Lancaster.

At Active Blu we have a lot of athletes coming from around the country to see us about injuries they have suffered with whilst swimming. The majority of these athletes have had to stop or reduce their swimming load whilst they get advice, go for treatment and deal with the cause of the injury. 


Often theses swimmers and triathletes will come and see us for video analysis, to look at their swimming, to try and identify anything within their stroke that could be causing their injuries. Generally for the majority of these athletes there are common faults causing the issue, which we can often highlight, identify and then work on, with the relevant drills and technique that will reduce the risk of their injury getting worse or reoccurring. Obviously with anything like this, it is essential to also seek advice from a Physio or Sports therapist to get their opinion and advise too. 

The other area we highly recommend is dry land work. Prehab can be that essential session to keep you performing at your optimal, stay injury free, develop strength and flexibility, enhance your performance and keep training consistently. 




So here it is - Your opportunity to book onto a course and learn everything you need to support your swimming and triathlon training. We will be looking at pre swim / race warm up, body imbalances, any potential injury site for you as an individual, simple exercises to remain injury free, develop strength, gain flexibility and optimise your performance.

This is a must for every athlete wishing to improve their performance and reduce the chance of injury.

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.

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. On week 1 we tested the squads Critical Swim Speed. (CSS). 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 a structured progra
