Over 30 swimmers in the age from 18 to 93 years old found their way to Göteborg, Sweden from 9 different countries to swim in Valhallabadet, the main venue for the World Masters Championships. This time the Swedish Champion, (the swimmer in Sweden with most Swedish records) Simon Sjödin came to Göteborg for 3,5 days to coach the grateful masters swimmers.  Simon  coaching on Butterfly and Backstroke was really appreciated and Glen gave the breaststrokers, sprinters and middledistance swimmers their money worth. But not only did the groups swim back and forth in the pool; all swimmers got their strokes filmed under water and advices from Glen. Also lactate testing, massage, stretching and seminars on training and competition preparation was on the schedule. The participants were exhausted and excited after the intensive camps and several signed up right away for upcoming camps!

Next Camps:

June 21st – 28th on Tenerife

July 12th – 18th in Göteborg

Marco Koch visit Swimstars stand and swims poolrecords in Dillenburg

Marco Koch, the young worldclass swimmer who broke the European record in the 200m breast last summer

My “trainingpal” from T3, Tenerife in December  Marco Koch swam really well in Dillenburg last weekend. 28,9 in 50m breast, 1.02,17 in the 100m breast and 2.16 in the 200m breast – good solid times this early in the season. And the way he swam it was very impressing, especially the 100meter where he only used 14 strokes the first 50 meters and 21 strokes the second 50meters. I is always interesting to watch a young talent like this and Marco and I had some really good talks on training, technique and racing. Exactly what is a secret. :) But we both agreed on how crucial it is to learn a proper swim technique as early as possible and this is why the work with Swimstars is so important!

May 5th, 2010

Sometimes middle distance swimmers need an extra push!

Sometimes middle distance swimmers need an extra push!

It is amazining what a difference one week training in the sun can make! Salima Bouayad broke the French record in the 400m freestyle after the February camp on Tenerife and Tanja Engels swam an European record over the same distance with a 5.02,09! Both swimmers trained together on T3 and swims in the same agegroup (50-54).  Congratualtions!!! And keep up the good work for World Masters!
