Lounge to Laps - Freestyle stroke and endurance development

Want to improve your freestyle technique, endurance and confidence in the water? Join Darwin Stingers for this four-week short course that will help you achieve all of the above!

Each session will start with a gentle warm-up, then a build-up of skills and drills to efficiently and comfortably swim a lap or more of the pool in freestyle, focussing on:
- Head and body positioning
- Feeling the water to propel you forward efficiently
- Correct kick mechanics
- Breathing techniques
- Drills to improve stroke efficiency

Sessions are adjusted to cater for swimmers who are just learning to swim their first laps up to more confident swimmers who are wanting to challenge themselves towards a 2km session by the end of the course. 

This is not a Learn-To-Swim course - participants must be able to swim at least 25m and be comfortable in deep water.

BYO bathers, towel, goggles, fins, kick board, and water bottle. Must be 18yo+

$40 for the course!  Bookings required.
