Oasis Swim Academy - Cambodia

Great to see just how much Swimming is expanding here in Cambodia! Can't wait to go and check out this pool in person.
Great work from the Khmer Swimming Federation.

After a rocky few months we are back in the water!
We hope everyone has been well and healthy and that all the kids had a great summer break 😀
We have a few spots in our flexible schedule available.
Happy to meet your wants and needs whether it’s the first swim ever or you are aiming for the national swim team!

Happy to announce our swim club recognition with the Australian Gold Class Swimming training group.
We have gained a handful of qualifications through many professional development hours during the closure of pools here in Phnom Penh.

Gold class swimming isn't just a great training group for coaches but also parents as well. Please give them a look as we have found them a great online resource during these dryer times.

We hope everyone is staying safe and sane during these times and we are looking to starting lessons again as soon as possible with things looking like they are improving 🙂

A great weekend at the junior national swimming competition!

The 2021 Hem Thon National junior swimming championships at Olympic stadium showed great results for our performance squad team!

Out of 8 events we managed:
3x 🥇
2x 🥈

And every single swimmer got Personal bests on each swim.

Thanks for the parents for their ongoing support, to the officials, organizers and coach’s too.

And a big thank you to សហព័ន្ធខ្មែរកីឡាហែលទឹក Khmer Swimming Federation for putting it all together!

A good watch about swimminig intertwined with living abroad, the pandeic, mindset and family.

Just Keep Swimming: Ben Proud on Course for the Olympics Harder, better, faster, stronger.

Treading water, level: EXPERT
Here you can see Ollie holding a kickboard above his head whilst treading water (he managed to do this for around 40 seconds!)

Instead of sculling water with his hands and using a bicycle kick to stay afloat he uses a technique called the ‘egg be**er kick.’
Simply enough to explain it is much harder to perform (especially for more than half a minute!!) but has great benefits as you can get your head and shoulders out of the water and have your hands free in case you feel like holding a kickboard up nice and high.
All you need to do is draw circles (parallel with the bottom of the pool) with your big toes continuously but at alternating times. Your Left Big toe should draw these circles in a clockwise motion whilst your Right one, in the Counter clockwise direction.

Next time you are in the pool, give this one a try and let us know how you go!
