Open Water Swimming Practices (OWS)- Summer 2012
Is 2012 your first year of dedicated swimming,
or have you swum so long that you’ve sprouted gills and fins?
Whatever your experience and objectives, SBR Coaching can provide safe, effective training to improve your performance in the water.
SBR open water swim practices (OWS) are professionally coached sessions that incorporate specific workout objectives, education, and training for open water swimming. As an athlete, you will be given specific individual coaching to help you achieve your goals. Group instruction topics include water safety, race strategy, and proper form.
The OWS program offers maximum flexibility in scheduling. Four sessions per week, including morning and evening options, allow you to have nearly unlimited swim training opportunities. Safety is a key topic of instruction. The OWS program covers stroke analysis, sighting, and breathing techniques, and includes individual instruction with critique of form.
Morning OWS classes are held in the quarry of Fireman’s Park in Verona. Evening OWS classes are held at Lake Ripley in Cambridge. In mid- to late August, practices will move to Law Park by Monona Terrace, pending water quality. Unlimited spots are available.
OWS programs emphasize:
· Education about safe approaches to open water swims
· Development of efficient swim technique
· Proper mechanics for injury-free swimming
· Navigation in open water
· Entry and exit strategies for open water racing
· Race preparation and tactics such as drafting, pacing and safety
· Training the mind for open water through motivation and relaxation
· Advice on proper open water equipment for training and racing
· The FUN and JOY of swimming!
