Champion Cate Campbell for a free virtual swim clinic. Like all of us, Cates 2020 has not turned out how she expected and has had to adapt with the postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Taking place on Tuesday 8 September, the clinics will run across two sessions; 4pm for swimmers aged 8-13 years and 5.15pm for swimmers aged 14-18+ years. These one hour clinics will involve a presentation from Cate as she shares her swimming journey and how covid-19 has affected her 2020. Cate will offer her top tricks on surviving lock down, getting back into training and how to stay motivated. The sessions will then move into a 20 minute core and stretching work out, tailored to each age group and finish off with some Q&As from the group. Registration is essential and there will be an opportunity to submit your questions to Cate prior to the clinic. Register via the links below.

09.01.2022 We have provided a few reasons why we love swimming. Why do you love it? . #enjoyment . There is no sensation like being in water!... #friendship Swimming is a great social exercise. Water is a great way to have fun with friends and family. Let the fun begin! #relaxing . Swimming is brilliant for relaxing your body from your daily routine. If you focus on swimming and the sensation of just being in water its easy to ignore any distractions. #underwater . One of my favourite aspects of swimming is swimming underwater. Its like a whole new world opening up. For brief moments it feels like Im flying as I glide through the pool. #variety of Activity. You can swim with friends or alone in a pool, ocean, lake or river. #lowimpact on the body . Swimming is great for recovery. When strokes are performed correctly there is little to no impact put on the body. #cardiovascularhealth . Swimming helps you to build a rhythm with your breathing and raise your heart rate. It supports healthy blood flow around your body. #strengthenmuscles . When you swim your body will experience some resistance as water has a thicker density than air. This means that you can use the water not just for swimming, but also as an environment to do simple exercises to build your muscles and strengthen your body #lifeskills . One of the most versatile exercises across all generations that you can use, enjoy and share throughout your entire life.
