Evening swim coaching

At last I've been able to sign-up for a 10 week freestyle coaching block at the local pool. This will hopefully complement my sessions in the endless pool, some supported practice with fewer opportunities to reinforce poor technique.

I was a little nervous beforehand, fearing it would be too intense or that I'd be unable to cope with the drills. We were split into two groups, the known fast and powerful squad and 'the rest'. The latter had a  range of ability from a new freestyle swimmer through a range, perhaps with me being towards the more experienced. We did some classic drills, but not too much, and some observed swims, with individual feedback, all done in a supportive way.

This is quite a budget option, at around 2x a basic pool entry fee, and with a fairly small group size, excellent value for money. This is a far better option than the block I completed recently as we all received technique tips, which in my case, I know to be areas that I need to continue to work on.
