swimming

The coached swim session that started last year are still running on a Thursday evening from 7-8pm.
Its a small group of us swim and the standard of our swimming varies, we do a mixture of distance and drills and get plenty of individual coaching.
We have space for a more people to join in. Sessions cost £5 per week which is great value for the admision and coaching.
the sessoins are at the legal and general buildings at Kingswood so accessable by train as well as road.

Its best to let Carrol know before turning up so she can plan the session, either post here or pm me so i can pass on details.

How much does it vary? I can swim miles of breastroke but my front crawl really needs help.

Like the price and the location - I can walk there.

I'd recommend Carol, Phil. I used to go to these and she took me from thrash and splash to a front crawl I'm happy with should I fancy a swim. She's a very good teacher and patient if you're thick. Varied abilities, I was comfortably the worst, the better swimmers just do different exercises and cover more lengths of the pool.

I can recommend Carol as well and she really transformed my front crawl technique.

If I was still doing Triathlons I would still be going.

My wife Jean and I went there too. She improved my crawl from dire to about competent; I should have persevered more.

Well, that was good. Thanks Joanna.

I think various bits may ache tomorrow.

Yes. Pretty convenient for me. Decided to walk last night - which maybe wasn't such a smart move. Navigating across the fields in the dark wasn't that straightforward. Funny, because going the other way (from Kingswood station home) after a skinful always seems easy.
