One - 2 - One

Nick Gillingham MBE is a technical perfectionist when it comes to the art of swimming. With a specialism in breaststroke and a deep insight and passion for all competitive strokes, Nick will leave you more motivated and more prepared for personal excellence.The One - 2 - One session's are geared to those swimmers who have attended previous courses that Nick has delivered as the mindset is prepared for the application of excellence through the methodology applied.

Please note if you have only ever been on one previous course you can access One - 2 - One for any swim stroke as the methodology remains the same.

There are two swimming sessions on offer..

1) 1 hour 30 minutes (1 hour 15 minutes water time)

2) 2 hours (1 hour 45 minutes water time)

Masters swimmers can also access the One - 2 - One opportunity following any initial course and can chose either of the above sessions.

The methodology applied will address the process of race preparation and the development of the overall technique to include analysing the level of buoyancy, pattern and efficiency of the leg kick, shape and effectiveness of the arm pull, the breathing and head position along with the general stroke timing. In the ideal, Nick is striving for perfect balance in the water and will be demonstrating the strokes plus all skills & drills in the water which will be bespoke to you through ongoing stroke analysis. A complete performance analysis for the dive start and turns will also be fed back to swimmers following demonstrations and practice.

Swimmers parents are invited to support the education process and the coach of the swimmer is also welcome. If the swimmer is supported by the club coach, then stroke rate, stroke count and velocity will be a topic of discussion.

Still photography and camcorder footage can be taken by the parent / guardian and or coach as long as parental consent is received in writing as agreed through the management of the facility.

Please note that the swimming pool facility will be set out to international competition standards to include anti-wave lane ropes, competitive starting blocks, backstroke flags and depth of water.

'Whatever you are by nature, keep to it; never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for and you will succeed.'
