Martti from Finland, one of my online swimmers at the training camp on T3, Tenerife
If you are training for a Masters Swim Championships, either the World Masters Games, the World Masters Championships or a National Masters Championships or a Triathlon you will need proper training. If you are training as you did when you were 18 at the age of 40 you are training wrong! If you wamt to know more about how to train either join one of my Masters swim Camps or contact me for a personalized training plan! And you know what? We are having fun!
Proud Sofia has her first SwimStar badge on her swimsuit.
It is great to see how much fun the children have learning to swim and how important it is to encourage them and give the confidence especially in the beginning of their “swimming career”. The SwimStar method focus on just these things and after working with this method it gives me great satisfaction in seeing even the most unconfident children dipping their heads under water, blowing out air and then showing off a smile bigger than the sun afterwards. They feel like winners! And they are!!!
You cannot always expect perfect training conditions as a masters swimmer. But we must let go of the conservative upbringing which taught us that a pool must be 25m, 50m or at least 25 yards in order to get a proper training done. Water is water and I have trained all over the world in the most peculiar shaped pools, lakes and oceans. It is a challenge but when you think creative and use your imagination you can always get some great training done. Like this “obstacle course” in a 10meter long, 60cm deep childrens pool.
Tired but happy SwimStars kids after lesson in Hamburg.
