Children’s swimming for ambitious ones
For whom: Children aged 9 to 15
Goal: “Overpace” training. The child should learn to swim at the desired pace until the competition distance is reached. The flume is very suitable for this, as you can swim up to 55 seconds over 100m.
Technology improvements based on video analysis:
Each child goes home with 4 videos, these videos are used to visualize the swimming style. Only if you can see and feel a mistake can it be improved under maximum stress.
Discussions with parents about nutrition, strength training and additional Vo2max-training are also planned to increase performance.
