What Does The Day Entail?
There are four stations across the day, with three for the swimmers and one for the parents.
For the swimmers they have a Swim Station, where they will be coached by Adam himself along with Ed, as well and a Gym and Racing Edge Station, where they will be coached by Rob and Tom respectively.
For the parents, there is a Parent’s Support Station where there will be some insights shared from the teams combined experiences as well as a chance for anything swimming related to be explored and discussed. The team also offers coaches of clubs local to the clinics the chance to come in for the entire day for free and receive mentoring from one of the leading senior coaches in the UK.
To round off the day for everyone, Adam will be giving a presentation around his journey through swimming, the lessons he has learnt, how he has managed to retain unparalleled levels of success for so long and all about his pursuit of becoming Better Than Yesterday.
