Swim Session Content

 

Throughout the week in the pool, of course we will be working hard however the key focus will for the swimmers to work SMART. There will be some “key sessions” where the swimmers will be challenged physically but our EBS camps are as much about developing technical skills as they are about pushing your body to your limits.

  

Introduction – This session will be an aerobic and skills-based session introducing the swimmers to the week.

​

Threshold – This is a key energy system for a swimmer, so we are looking to put a twist on the “classic” threshold set and give the swimmers something a little more specific that they probably haven’t done before.

​

Feel – “Feel” is something swimmers talk about a lot; it is the relationship that they have with the water. Through this session we will be developing the swimmer’s feel for the water and also giving them drills and skills to work on in training when they feel like they are losing their “feel”.

​

Individual Technique – This session will be focused around individual technical points picked up on during the week.

​

Turn Skills – Turns are often a part of the race that lets swimmers down and when you do hundreds if not thousands of them every week, they need to be top notch! There will be 2 stations, one running touch turns for butterfly and breaststroke and one for backstroke and freestyle. 

​

Heart Rate Max – This is the nastiest type of session that we will be doing through the week. The aim of this set is to reach a maximum heart rate but to not let the technique slip off, to maintain a perfect stroke while under the pressure.

​

Kick Variations – As the motor for the stroke, kick is a key component for any swimmer and something that is really important to nail, so at any point in a race you can really bring your legs in when they’re needed. Through this session we will be working through different variations of kick and kicking styles.​​

​

Week Content

​

Swimmers will be split into two different groups (Junior/Senior) for the swim/gym sessions in order to best meet the needs of everyone involved.

 

Swim Sessions – The swim sessions will be very varied across the week including some training sessions for each of the different energy systems required to take your swimming to the next level. These will include, threshold, heart rate max, skills, recovery sessions and much more.

​

Gym Sessions – All the gym sessions will be body weight/circuit based and will be tailored to meet the individual requirements of the camp participants. The sessions will be tailored to ensure they don’t just make the swimmers sweat but utilise movements and routines that will aid the swimmer’s performance in the pool.

​

Physical Recovery – During the physical recovery sessions in replacement of gym sessions, we will provide participants with the opportunity to allow their bodies the chance to adapt and recover between sessions. This will also facilitate learning around the importance of keeping your body healthy when you’re involved in such a heavy training sport. 

​

Lunch/Downtime – This part of the day is for lunch/down time and is a key part of any swimmer’s day is recovery and that is that is what this time is for. If swimmers would like to discuss anything private with any of the members of team this is also the perfect opportunity to do it.
