For swimmers who are ready to step up. The Competitive Development programme acts as a bridge between the Learn-to-Swim Advanced phase and elite club-level training. Structured around race-specific conditioning and technical mastery, this programme prepares swimmers to perform under pressure at school galas, inter-schools events, and competitive time trials.
What you will learn:
- High-volume interval training for race-pace endurance
- Advanced start mechanics and reaction training
- Tumble turns, open turns, and underwater phases
- Butterfly, Breaststroke, Backstroke, and Freestyle stroke efficiency
- Biomechanical video analysis where available
- Mental skills: heat strategy, warm-up routines, and race-day focus
- Preparation for school gala qualifying times
