Easy Laps Swim Pod - YMCA Robert Lee - Winter 2012
Program Summary
The biggest challenge in swimming when starting out is learning how to build fitness and improve technique without getting discouraged and falling back into bad habits.
The Easy Laps Swim Pod is for anyone who can swim 25m and wants to build distances up to 200m non-stop with ease.
In this course, we will introduce you to practices that build up your ability to swim freestyle with ease over distances of 50-200m. Ideal if you have can swim 25-50m non-stop in front crawl but find it tiring and difficult to go further. Your Sea Hiker coach will help you understand why swimming can be a struggle and exactly what you need to do to swim with ease at any distance. Course includes video analysis and online practice guide with supplemental practices to guide you during and after the course. (Practices 500-1200m)
In this class, we will focus on the essential practices that create graceful, efficient and enjoyable laps. You will learn drills and exercises designed to transform your backstroke and freestyle (front crawl) into strokes you can do for minutes on end. This is a great class to improve your existing skills with further coach feedback and build greater confidence in yourself as a swimmer.
