07.01.2022 Want to improve your backstroke? All you really need to do is copy what you do with your arms and torso when you swim freestyle.

07.01.2022 Due to the smaller numbers at Saturday club training during winter, our coaches can a bit more "inventive" in the training program. The swimmers seem to enjoy it much more than following a black line.
