Why is shoulder rotation important ...swimming

As you rotate from one side to the other side while swimming freestyle, you are transferring power between your arms and shoulders through your core, back and chest muscles. Because these muscles are considered some of the strongest in the body, especially for swimmers, you can generate more power

Having a great time with this one...

"The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. ... This 5.5 years old cutie is getting better each session...👍

Why is water confidence important....

The main aim of building up water confidence is to prevent fear, which can lead to panic – the most common cause of drowning. By teaching your child about the properties of water you can help to reduce or eliminate this fear by showing them how to be safe and also have fun with water.

TESTIMONIALS

Dear Spencer,

Thank you for being Alastor's Coach! You are not only a "Swim Coach" You are a "Life Coach"!

Since 2006, you have been sincere and passionate about imparting this "life-skill" to Alastor. I thank you for always encouraging him and believing in him. It is not just about swim lessons, it is about water confidence, learning and applying the correct techniques that has brought him this far. Through the years, you have been patient in discovering the potential of this child and finally when it is time to let go of him as your student, you have also provided the path to further develop his swimming potential by introducing him to water polo. Alastor enjoys the game and he has made good friends at this sport too :)

I thank you for making a difference in his life. I also appreciate you for making a difference in OUR lives too. We have embraced sports more positively and now I am proud to say that we are a "Sporty Family"

Keep the Fire and Passion going! You made the BEST decision in becoming a professional in this area and enriching the kids and families around you. I hope that Alastor will continue to make you proud and one day fulfil his own dream of being in the Water Polo National Team! Jia You!!!

Be still like water…

OCEANICSWIM (ADVANCE) 1.5hr per session ($70/session/swimmer) min 3 swimmers a class

Swimmers in this program will acquire advance swim techniques in all 4 swim strokes through advance drills practices. Swimmers at this stage of training, every metre should be an effective metre

This training program involves :

1) Aerobic Training ( Distance Training) –a good swimmer should have good endurance capacity to swim any distance. This allows the swimmer to go faster at any distance without becoming fatigued easily. So swimmers have to build an aerobic base at the early stage & then add more intense work to develop speed & speed-endurance. Like endurance swim, this training will build a stronger heart.

2) Stroke Mechanics & Swimming Energy – stroke efficiency is very important for a swimmer as this would conserve the swimmer`s energy for speed.

3) Swimmers will learn the techniques of a effective racing start from the starting block so as the start of a backstroke. The tumble-turn techniques used in freestyle & backstroke. Swimmers will also get to learn some of the FINA RULES.

4) Swimmers will be tested every 10 sessions tested on their timing for all 4 strokes (50m & 100m swim) to check on their progress.

Students will have access to swim meets and events schedules which will posted on my website
