The detail club
training skips
Dives and starts
Getting off the blocks well: a clean entry, a strong streamline and a fast first few strokes. The start is where races are won and lost before anyone has taken a breath.
Turns
Tumble turns and open turns, the push off the wall and the breakout into the stroke. Every length has a turn, so small gains add up across every race.
All four strokes
Technique drills on freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly, with a coach watching each swimmer rather than just setting the clock.
Race skills at speed
Short sprints and relays that bring the starts and turns into a race, so the changes hold up when it matters.
The quiet
week
Race-ready for the January galas: dives, turns and stroke detail while the pool is quiet.

Yes. Camp coaches are Swim England, ASA or STA qualified at Level 2 or above and fully DBS-checked, and swimmers check in with the coach on poolside each day.
