Stroke Correction

30-minute classes for 6 years and up

Each week we concentrate on one of the 4 FINA recognised strokes. We break the stroke down in order to build it up and again, then we repeat in order to perfect it. BLABT (body position, leg, arm, breathing, timing) and correct stroke are imperative in getting the foundations right. We don’t neglect kicking as it forms an integral part of stroke correction. Incorporate correct starts and finishes in each stroke cycle. We bring in underwater work. Technique for efficiency is key.
