Tailored Swim Improvement Plan
- Designed specifically for you to succeed and improve in your own time!
Do you find that there is just not enough time to get to the Swimfortri drill sessions during the week?
Are the locations inconvenient for you to attend, but you are determined to improve your swimming technique?
Then the Tailored Swim Improvement Plan is what you need to get you where you want to be. Remember it is never too early to start training for next year!
This Plan is designed for you to succeed. If you are not satisfied with your current personal best time, then starting a Tailored Swim Improvement Plan is what you need. It gives you the coaching that is needed, and allows you to do workouts at your convenience.
The Tailored Swim Improvement Plan
- Designed for you to swim around your schedule
- Customized to satisfy your needs
- Endless pool sessions
- 24 week course of drills
- Weekly fitness sessions
1./ Endless Pool Sessions
An Endless Pool is effectively a treadmill for swimmers. You swim against an oncoming current. You remain in a constant position while swimming enabling us to film you from 4 different angles (including 2 underwater.) This footage is then immediately available for playback on a large video screen. Actually seeing what you are doing is an excellent way of understanding how you can improve your technique. One-to-one coaching and a DVD of footage to take home with each session will aid your progression.
2./ Course of Drills
Drills are crucial to successful swimming. For me, as a coach, drills either restrict a bad habit or encourage good habits, they have to be maintained and practiced regularly. After 30 years of swim and tri racing I still do mine weekly! This is a highly cost effective method of gaining access to the type of swim training that provokes the following:
"I managed to swim 01:08:31 and felt fresh coming out of the water - I had 01:15 - 01:20 in mind with my Ironman swim and didn't dream of swimming sub 01:10 a year ago, so I'm super happy with my progress thanks to you guys. I finished overall in 10:53:40, which I am pretty happy with." - Andre
3./ Weekly fitness sessions
Our fitness sessions are elaborate and challenging. The best compliment a coach can receive is that 'the session flew by', 'did we really swim for 90mins' and 'did we really do 3.5K', etc. The sessions need to be mentally and physically challenging to keep you interested. The Fitness OYO (on-your-own) sessions we supply each week (click here for info) have a specific Sprint/Olympic and IM main set that can be swum in the time you have available or with next years targets in mind. Usually the sets vary from 2km to 6km depending on which main set you undertake so there is always plenty to do.
These plans are available to swimmers of all levels.
There is also an option to purchase a DVD of all the drills.

We measure improvements by tracking the following in a spreadsheet:
a) reducing stroke count at increased pressure levels in the Endless Pool, (efficiency is improving)
b) a reduction in monthly Golf score (stroke count added to time taken to swim one length - this way we get an idea that speed does not come from a higher stroke rate)
c) T30 increases (max distance travelled in 30mins) resulting in better metres per second speed rates.
d) frequent time trials
The above is a sample. We are keen to listen to your individual needs and tailor your swim plan to suit your requirements.
