Advanced Learn To Swim Program

Shaplands Swim School’s Advanced Learn To Swim Program is designed for swimmers who have mastered basic swimming techniques and are looking to refine their skills. Whether you’re aiming to join a swimming squad, improve your technique, or enhance your endurance, this program caters to swimmers of all ages who want to take their swimming to the next level.

Our advanced swimming lessons focus on perfecting technique, increasing stamina, and developing skills necessary for competitive swimming. With a dedicated focus on advanced swimming techniques, our program ensures that each swimmer is equipped with the tools and knowledge to succeed in both training and competitions.

What We Focus On in Our Advanced Swimming Program:

1. Perfecting Stroke Technique

The foundation of any successful swimmer is their stroke technique. In our advanced swimming classes, we focus on refining the technique for all four strokes – Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Butterfly. 

Our advanced swimming lessons teach swimmers the correct body positioning, arm movements, breathing techniques, and leg coordination required for optimal performance.

2. Swimming Longer Distances

Endurance is key in advanced swimming. Our program challenges swimmers to swim longer non-stop distances, helping them build stamina and improve their overall swimming performance. 

By gradually increasing distance, swimmers will develop the endurance needed to swim in competitions and longer training sessions without losing efficiency or speed.

3. Mastering Lane Etiquette and Turns

Learning how to navigate the swimming lanes effectively is crucial for swimmers who want to join a competitive squad. We teach swimmers how to swim in a continuous circle pattern, ensuring they maintain proper lane etiquette. 

Additionally, we focus on mastering tumble turns for Backstroke and Freestyle, allowing swimmers to transition quickly and efficiently, saving valuable time during training and races.

4. Perfect Wall Touches for Breaststroke and Butterfly

An often-overlooked aspect of competitive swimming is the wall touch technique. Our program ensures that swimmers know how to touch the wall with both hands at the same time when finishing or turning in Breaststroke and Butterfly. 

This skill is crucial in competitions, as it meets the technical requirements for these strokes and maximises speed.

5. Reading and Understanding Swimming Workouts

One of the most important skills for swimmers aspiring to join a swimming squad or club is the ability to understand and follow a workout plan. In our advanced swimming program, we teach swimmers how to read a basic swimming workout program. 

This skill is essential for those who wish to take swimming seriously and progress in their swimming career, as it enables them to understand the structure of a session and follow through with training goals.

6. Learning to Read a Pace Clock

Swimmers aiming for competition need to be able to manage their time and pace effectively. A key aspect of this is learning how to read a pace clock, which helps swimmers track their training times and manage their efforts during sets. 

Our advanced swimming lessons focus on teaching swimmers how to read and use the pace clock effectively to monitor their performance, ensure they are on track, and improve their time management in the water.
