Today, thirty-one swimmers from within Northumberland and Durham attended the third day of the counties training camp held once again at Consett Leisure Centre.
The camps form part of the Northumberland and Durham and Swim England talent pathway and provide swimmers within an opportunity to develop their technical, tactical, physical and psychological skills with swimmers of a similar age and ability from across the county. The camps also provide an opportunity for swimmers to work with different coaches and to train in different environments.
Today the swimmers completed two pool sessions focusing on Butterfly and Breaststroke and starting techniques while and on the land, they took part in a body weight exercise circuit and a goal setting session. These sessions were overseen once again by the camps head coach Chris Leighton (BOSSS), supported by Howard Leighton as Team Manager (BOSSS) and skills coaches Emily Betham (Tynemouth), Tim Maddison (Aqua Force), Joe Richards (Middlesbrough), Sue Thorpe (Gateshead and Whickham), Brad Dobson (Chester -Le-Street) and Michele Davison (Newcastle Swim Team).
