What to Expect in Pre-Club Training

Our pre-club programme isn’t just about swimming laps—it’s about mastering competitive swimming fundamentals in a supportive, goal-oriented environment. Each session is carefully designed to improve efficiency, build endurance, and sharpen technique through a range of targeted drills.

With a focus on maximising stroke efficiency, we teach swimmers to cover more distance with each stroke while conserving energy. It’s similar to our stroke analysis sessions, but delivered in a dynamic group setting.

The Key Components of Our Pre-Club Training:

Dynamic warm-up stretches to prevent injury and improve flexibility

  • Sprint, interval, and endurance-focused sets

  • Timed swims to track performance and progress
