Amazing!

Every now and again a piece of technology comes along which is a game changer. The iPod, Garmin, Spotify, Bluetooth and so on. I Think it’s fair to say that the traditional world of swim coaching has largely ignored the technological advances available.
Tonight, however I think it’s not an exaggeration to say that by using my latest coaching tech the potential to improve my swimmers technique has exploded. In my 1-1 session tonight I used a radio headset. This gives me the ability to speak to my swimmer as she was swimming, instantly giving feedback. With no need to wait till she reached the end of the lane, I could tell her exactly what I was seeing and correct her stroke as she swam. The progress she made wearing the waterproof headphone was astounding. I would estimate that the progress she made in 45 minutes would have taken at least 3 more 1-1 sessions.

AMAZING!

Whilst some of us basked in the spring sunshine and got distracted by lambs frolicking on the Lancashire fells, others were demonstrating some early season good form. Including Dave -return to the fold – Marsh who finished an impressive 7th place at the Ribby Hall Triathlon. For those who don’t know Ribby Hall it is best describes as a toffs Centre Parcs with the run course tantamount to a public school boy game of knock-a-door run with competitors having to run up and down various avenues named “something view”

Further afield Emma Mephibosheth Flynn ( google it) recovery from Mondays injury to complete the Paris Marathon in under 4 hours. This is a fantastic achievement for someone not actually focusing on running a marathon. Testimony to the mantra that less can be more. Next stop Outlaw Half Ironman.

Well deserved!
