On Saturday and Sunday Prim, Pon and Maxi took up the opportunity to swim with Australia Swimming High Performance Coach Rohan Taylor at a workshop hosted by Ruamedee School.
The swimmers took part in two morning sessions with Rohan where they improved all four strokes, together with their starts, turns and underwater work. Following this session Coach Mica and Ms Gill then spent both Saturday and Sunday with Rohan, listening to the latest best practices for swimming, both were delighted to learn that the current practices used here at Shrewsbury are in line with those being undertaken by the very best swim programs within Australia and across the world. Following the theory sessions a senior swimmers session took part for swimmers aged 13 and over.
If there are any swimmers who would be interested in assisting producing a series of stroke practice videos, that will be used within swim lessons and team practices please come and see Ms Gill in the Sports and Activities Office. Swimmers will be required for a 30 minute session on a Friday morning both this week and next week and will receive a Starbucks voucher for their hard work. If you are interested in helping out please speak directly to Ms Gill.
