SwimForTri lesson - Brick Lane - 1 hour
This was a lesson in an endless pool with a guy called Dan Bullock. This is his website
I would recommend this to anyone, I was very impressed. It's a bit pricey but he's recommended no more than 4 sessions from now until Switzerland.
Actual swimming time was not massive, but the coaching was great. Seeing myself on video had an immediate effect, as I spotted my frantic legs! Things to work on:
- Palm of hand positioning backwards
- Bending the elbow in first 30% of stroke in order to get more of a backwards push rather than a downwards push
- Rolling the shoulders more to increase my reach, and to bring more upper body out of the water
- Keeping elbows high on left hand especially
- Keeping catch and pull within bodyline
- Less frantic legs! No bending of the knee
I think my sessions will now be dominated by technique work as I want to ensure I am not practising the wrong thing! He reckoned I should work on technique until about Christmas.
I think I will book another session in about a month.
