Swim Smooth Kent Squad

How accurate is the Swim Smooth CSS predictor? EXTREMELY.

Here is Roger Moore predicted 750m using the CSS predictor, compared with what he swam today at the ITU Sprint Grand Final...

Irrefutable proof that the CSS system is the most accurate and creates the most accountable swimmers in the game!

Swim Smooth CSS (Critical Swim Speed) is a method of training based around your sustainable pacing. It is designed to help you start swimming at a pace which you can sustain, without tiring, and can maintain throughout the swim to leave you finishing the swim with energy still in the bag.

It's the most powerful tool any swimmer should be using.

Tonight at Swim Smooth Kent Squad we will be using our newly acquired CSS paces to begin improving our pacing and overall speeds over winter. Want to know where the winners train? It's with Swim Smooth.

Fantastic weekend of achievements for our TriSwim athletes and squad swimmers.

Roger Moore:
1st Vet and 2nd overall at the Uckfield triathlon.
Roger is well on his way to the AG Sprint Finals at Rotterdam. Rogers journey into triathlon has been inspirational, and we're so pleased to be making this journey with him.

Sofia Hinkley:
4th overall woman at the Olympic Seaford .
Sofia has worked SO hard on her swim, and although was exceptionally nervous to be swimming 1500m sea open water - she gritted her teeth and showed amazing determination.

We're really proud of our athletes!

TriSwim gets RESULTS!

Tonight, squad - I want to play a game.

Take your time and really digest this blog. It's one of the best blogs written, and brilliantly explains why you shouldn't compare your stroke to elite swimmers "demonstrations".

See the mist!

This is a still from a video taken 20 minutes apart. Same day, same swimmer.

Michael came to see us yesterday because he had pain in his shoulders, and was stagnating with his freestyle.

He had a horrible cross-over which was causing shoulder, neck, and hip pain as he was creating lateral deviation through the hips, and having to counter the cross-over with a wide arm pull, and 'wiggling' head.

20 minutes later, and after going through Swim Smooth correction - he's now swimming with a great, straight entry - removing all pain, and helping improve his stroke!

In Michael's own words: 'I had absolutely no idea I was crossing over, let alone as badly as it was!'

Video analysis is vital in improving your freestyle, or any stroke in swimming!

Come and see us over the summer to help improve your swimming!

We had 15 children, and 30 adults join us in what was a fantastic afternoon in the open water learning essential open water skills, open water technique and race-specific training.

Well done Steve Dellow, Graham, Louise and Clare!

Great to see all you guys together! Team spirit!

Thanks squad for an enjoyable open water mess around and bbq.
