Clive and Sam talk about getting back in the pool after lockdown and how we can start of fast far earlier on. With speed and power being the hardest things to develop over aerobic capacity why not start training for speed earlier in your program?

Matt Brooks joins Sam and Clive today to discuss all things sports psychology. Sports psychology is an area that many swim teams will over look and brand as only needed for elite performance, but Matt is here to change that view. We delve into why psychology should be available to all levels of athletes in order to not just create incredible swimmers, but to create incredible swim team cultures too. We also talk about athlete burnout and what causes this and how best to prevent this. Matt has so much knowledge and great advice that he shared in this podcast to help swim clubs create even better teams.
Sam and Clive are back after their Lockdown Hiatus. We talk about what we are doing to keep fit over lockdown and how we can continue to improve without being able to swim. We talk about lifting, running and learning and how we can use all of these to make us better swimmers and coaches. We also touch on how resistance swimming will help with increasing our feel for the water when we get back and our plans for the coming podcasts.

Clive and Sam select some of your swim sets that you have sent in for us to “breakdown”. We talk about the science and how these sessions will make you better swimmers. Because of Covid-19 a lot of swimmers now have to swim in public lanes, so we are here to help you understand these sessions and help you with your training. Today we look at 2 main sets. A 7x200 Free step test set which is great for collecting your performance data to track your improvements. The second set is a race pace set of 3x75 as 50 Max, 10s rest, into a 25 Max. This set is great for preparing those race skills as well as working in that lactate production zone.
