 MV Sport currently has 2 weekly adult/masters swimming sessions plus regularly scheduled skill-specific sessions (see below).
Technique session – Mondays (20:30-21:30)
Training session – Wednesdays (20:00-21:00)
Open water skills session - Thursday 22nd April (19:30-20:45)
technique session – monday
This session is aimed at people who can already swim but who are looking for advice and input to improve swimming technique. Designed to help new starters, as well as current competitors who may be struggling with some aspect of their strokes.
The aim is to help participants to swim more confidently, efficiently and effectively, thus providing the basis to progress your swimming in whatever direction you please; whether for fitness, pleasure, competition or another discipline.
We focus on the basics of Front-crawl, whilst introducing and developing the other strokes and aquatic skills.
Please note this is not a learn to swim class and participants should be able to swim 25m confidently and be aware that the class duration is 1 hour. If in doubt, by all means, give us a call.
Venue: Fenham Swimming Pool
Cost: £4:00 on night (£35 for 10 weeks)
training session – wednesday
This session caters for a range of abilities but is intended as a physical workout. Ideal as a progression from Monday’s technique session, or for more advanced swimmers, wanting to extend and develop fitness.
Groups may cover between 1500m-3000m during the session, depending on current ability level.
Again, the focus is on front-crawl, but we will also incorporate other strokes, drills and practices to enhance and improve performance. If you have your own kickboard, pull-buoy or hand paddles, please bring them along.
Location: Fenham Swimming Pool
Cost: £4:00 on night (£35 for 10 weeks)
open water skills session – thursday 22nd april
These sessions will run at various dates prior to the open water/triathlon season to allow early practice of skills and techniques specific to open-water swimming.
Skills addressed in these sessions will be specific to open-water swimming inc. sighting, turns, deep water starts, swimming in groups etc.
Useful as a first introduction to the differences of open-water swimming; or for more seasoned competitors, an invaluable early technique practice and re-acquaintance with your wetsuit, before heading outdoors.
If you’re planning an assault on the Great North Swim or have an open-water triathlon event early in the season, the controlled practice of these skills will prove invaluable to your confidence and performance.
Swimmers can bring along their wetsuits to get used to the feel of swimming in them, or we can make suits available for those interested in trying on a suit for the first time.
Location: Elswick Swimming Pool
Cost: £5:00 (to be booked in advance) |
