What happens during TEEN SWIM Lanes? This is alongside my stroke improvement course so there are up to 2 lanes available for swimming for Teens. I put a swim set on the board as a suggestion for them to follow all / bits of, provide floats and pull buoys if they want to use them, give them space to swim, and offer suggestions for stroke technique tweaks, or ways to structure their swim set to make it less boring than just going up and d

If they want to listen into the stroke improvement session, they can, or they can follow the set, or just swim. it's a space to explore their enjoyment of the water and swim!

It's such a privilege to be able to unpick front crawl breathing, body position, arm pull and leg kick timing across my 4 week front crawl course and to hear feedback like " I've gone from 45 seconds a length to 30" is amazing, and still more tweaks to be made to find swimming easier and easier.

The next 4 week course starts on 7th October, running on 7,14,21and 28th October and I've a couple of spots remaining.

This is alongside the teen swim lanes, so if you've got teens and want to learn a skill together we can facilitate both 18y/o and 13-17 year olds in the front crawl improver course.

October is full of swimming opportunities to support your swim journey.

If you find lane swimming gets too busy, or you'd like the structure, support, and social of a relaxed squad - Fitness with Focus is for you.

If you would like to learn more about swimming front crawl to find it easier, more efficient, and faster I can help with that too with my current stroke courses on Wednesday evenings - next 4 week courses starting on 7th October or 2nd November respectively.

If you've got a teen who's not in swimming lessons (or would like to swim more), TEEN LANE SWIMS is a gently supported swim space bridging the gap between swim lessons, and lane swimming for those that love to swim but don't want to join a club

JSC also has capacity for some 1-1 private swimming lessons on a Tuesday morning or Wednesday evening alongside group sessions.- DM for info.

For those wanting to swim more in the cold water, October is when I re-start my cold water swimming sessions at Queenford Lakes Open Water Swimming, on Sunday mornings. (full dates coming soon)

I also offer Training plans and supportive swim chats for anyone wanting some structure to follow but to swim on their own schedule.

Check out my bookings page for dates, times, and prices https://widget.eola.co/1113/activities/x83h7
OR DM me for any bespoke swim options. I can usually help!

Sharing the pool I have 2 other lanes as a dedicated Teen Swim Lane offering space for teens to continue to swim and keep their love for the water alive. The Oratory Prep school pool has the space for separate changing rooms, enabling both adults and under 18's to change safely, so this is the perfect space if your teen is 'done' with swimming lessons but would like to swim for fitness, come along, with a teacher on poolside to give advice, and a swim set to follow.

Post your hand like a letterbox to ensure smooth water and better traction for the catch.

This is a snippet from my Dry front crawl swimming workshop at
helping participants think about their strokes so they can put it into practice next time they are at the pool.

(I prefer teaching and coaching with a pool, but any opportunities to share swim knowledge I'm game!)
