All these programs have been tried and tested by a Masters Squad with a wide range of age, abilities and swimming interests.
They are designed for all squads, but everyone coaches differently, so just adapt to suit your style and your squad’s needs.
The programs have been divided into ‘Aerobic’ and ‘Sprint’ but, of course there is crossover, and each set is differentiated into Levels 1, 2 and 3.
The Coaching Drills Handbook is to be used alongside the training programs, as it provides explanations of the Drills and Stroke tips.
Enjoy – I hope you find them a useful resource!
