Synchro Strength

Hi I’m Katie, an Olympic artistic swimmer and coach. I competed at the London 2012 Olympic Games and coach the duet in the Rio 2016 games. As some of you may know I relocated to the Isle of Man 6 months ago to develop artistic swimming in the island, a sport they haven’t had access to. I also coach the England Youth squad at the national sports centre in Bristol. The squad train at half term/holidays and will compete at the Croatia cup in June this year.

I created Synchro Strength during lockdown in 2020 when the pools were closed. Synchro strength offers an online land program that can all be done from your own home.

Land training is very important in artistic swimming, giving us the foundations to be a better athlete in the water and prevents injuries from occurring. As a full time athlete we trained 40+ hours per week and most of these were I the water in the lead up to London. About 10-12 hours were on land doing strength and conditioning, flexibility and walking through our routines.

My program gives swimmers the access to strength and flexibility sessions each week to improve and achieve their goals. If you would more information on this please message.

I also have an online shop that sells training products to aid land and pool training. My top product is the feet bands. These help improve the muscles to point the ankle and the toes. You can wear them whilst watching the tv or doing land exercises such as splits.

If you think others would like my account please share with them.

Thanks following, I appreciate all the support.

Katie

✨JOIN THE PROGRAM ✨

Synchro strength offers two types of land based programs. The first is a Strength program where you will build power and endurance on the land to transfer into the water. The second is a Flexibility program, which will help increase your range of movement in your splits, by challenging you with a variety of different stretches. It will also increase your knee and toe extension as well as your back and shoulder flexibility.

💦Each program offers 3 sessions per week to fit around your individual training and school schedule. 💦 The sessions last around 45-60 minutes.
💦 I use an app to access and record all your sessions. 💦There are videos for each exercise and you can leave comments/feedback after each session.

If you want to sign up you can purchase your first month through the website AND for a limited time if you sign up you will get a 10% discount code to use on the website for ANY training products we sell.

✨POOL FUEL ✨

I will be holding a 5 week nutrition course over the summer holidays called 'Pool fuel'. On the course we will discuss what type of foods to eat before, during and after training to help fuel your body and help it recover and get stronger.

It will start on Monday 2nd August, and finish week ending on Sunday 5th September.

What the course will include:

- 1 Zoom call weekly (we can discuss what day/time is best for everyone once we have the group) but it will be during the day in the week as I know evenings and weekends will be for club training. Initial thoughts are 10am one day during the week? Maybe Wednesdays?
- During the call we will cook a recipe (meal or snack) together - you will get a list of ingredients to have ready and will need access to the kitchen. We will also discuss different topics during each call.
- The main outcome of the course will be to discuss what types of foods/snacks to eat before, during and after training.
- I will give you a recipe to try and cook during the week and then you can feedback how this was, if you liked it, when you ate it etc? You will get a mixture of meal and snack recipes to try out.
- We will create a group via train heroic app to discuss anything from the call, topics, recipes or questions you may have.
- On week 5 we will discuss how this changes at competition whether that’s regionals/nationals/international competition. We will use and discuss your experience and mine to see how we can adapt it for when we are competing.
- This course is for every artistic swimmer.

There will be limited spaces and currently only 6 more spots available, so don’t miss out! If you are interested please let me know by direct message to secure yours/your child's spot.

Once you have confirmed your spot I will send out a questionnaire form for you to fill out and sign.
If you are under 18 I will need your parents permission and a signature to say they are happy for you to take part.
