Coach Grant Kritzinger Camp

Had 3 great days at the Grant Kritzinger camp last week. Two sessions a day, 4 hours in the pool made me really think about loads of technical stuff. Starts, turns, transitions and brake-outs also learning about reactions times, entry and underwater work. Was pretty intense but was worth it....hope I remember it all! :)

Whilst we were at Loughborough ITC swimming pool, we had a nice surprise and met current 50m Backstroke World Record holder Liam Tancock  which was great, he was really nice :)

Swim Camp with Olympic Coach Grant Kritzinger

I'm lucky enough to be going on a 3 day Performance swim camp with South African

coach Grant Kritzinger on the 21 - 23 August so I can't wait!

I'll be training at Loughborough University ITC in the mornings and then at Welbeck college in the afternoons so it's going to be busy :)

Leicester Sharks coaches +Darwin Davies and +Guy Worrow  will be there along with various coaches from the Leicester Penguins.

Coach Kritzinger has his own swim squad called Players in South Africa too.

Grant is the coach for Cameron van der Burgh, who won gold at the 100m breaststroke in a new world record time at the London 2012 Olympics. Breaststroke is my favourite stroke so I'm really looking forward to some tips

Coach Kritzinger has also been coaching the Maltese, fly and free swimmer, Andrew Chetcuti who holds 5 individual national records.

He was one of five athletes to compete for Malta in the London 2012 Olympics

It's going to be AWESOME!
