Training Sessions

We offer a number of regular term-time sessions for our swimmers to train. Certain sessions will be more suitable to you depending on your ability and your coach will point you to the sessions most suitable to you (but a rough guideline can be found at the foot of this page).

Term-time Training Sessions Timetable

Session Guide

Your coach will point you to the sessions which are most suitable for you but as a rough guide:

  • Green sessions - entry level swimmers (new to club swimming; Rising Stars gala level; might take part in A&W galas)
  • Amber sessions - medium level swimmers (A&W and Rising Stars gala level; might take part in some Open Meets (electronically-timed, licensed galas))
  • Red sessions - higher level swimmers (Red 1 being those who regularly take part in Open Meets or train with COBSC and Red 2 being those who also regularly take part in Yorkshires or NERs)

Multiple ability level sessions are managed into separate lanes.

Starts, Sprints & Turns Session

To assist our swimmers prepare for short course galas and galas in general we have taken the opportunity to tweak our last session on Wednesdays to be an hour long starts, sprints and turns session suitable for swimmers with medium to high skill levels.
This more intense session will concentrate on:

  • Starts - using our new starting blocks
  • Sprinting - conditioning swimmers to swim flat out
  • Turns - evaluating turns to a higher degree
