Swim further and improve your swimming technique
Most beginner swimmers don't know how to swim efficiently. They swim short distances, get tired, stop to rest and when recovered, repeat the process. their swimming is anaerobic which means they have to stop frequently for long rest periods. The great news for beginners is that you can improve very quickly.
Jersey Rapids is all about swimming aerobically i.e. continuously. Swimming your own personalised program makes us a really fun club. We are like having your own personal trainer telling you what to do at the pool every day and everyday it's something different.
Jersey Rapids will fine tune your level of swimming. Your workouts will include drills to help you improve your swimming technique and help you move more efficiently through the water. Our sets will help you increase your swimming endurance. Soon you will be swimming lap after lap with out stopping for long rests.
Drills
Jersey Rapids uses drills to teach certain aspects of a swimming stoke. Drills over emphasis part of a technique and require that you concentrate on a particular part of the stroke. There are
hundreds of drills. Some examples include "Lateral Kick" which
emphasises the body rolling on the side to help breathing, "Finger
Trail" which emphasises a relaxed arm recovery and "Stretch and Glide"
which helps to reduce the number of strokes you have to take.
Swimming Sets
A set is a group of distances such as 4 x 100, 2 x 300 or 8 x 25. Sets
help swimmers pace themselves. Some are designed for swimming quickly
while others are designed for endurance. We use a wide variety
of sets to help keep you motivated.
