Today at Somerset’s County Development Programme, we were excited to welcome Ash Stoneman, Millfield’s Leading Swimming Athletic Development Coach, to deliver a CPD session for Coaches, with the aim of enabling them to deliver confident and effective Pre-Pool.
Ash demonstrated then enabled all participants to experience ideal movement patterns for swimmers and then supported them in the subsequent delivery of the CDP pre-pool session, thus reinforcing learning.
Following the session, Ash sent everyone actionable resources to enable all them to take their learning and integrate it into weekly training routines, including paper resources and video footage.
“I felt Ash delivered the course extremely well, he is obviously very knowledgeable, but managed to break each exercise down to make it really understandable and explained the purpose and benefits. All good stuff we can pass on to our swimmers! This will be massively beneficial to our club and will enable us to add something more structured into our training.” Chris, Guest Coach, Wells SC
I found it to be very beneficial, with excellent coaching and swim-specific insights for the exercises. I now have a solid foundation to build on and share with the swimmers at my club. Andrew, Guest Coach, Burnham-on-Sea SC
Thanks go to Ash, to all coaches who participated with enthusiasm and to Kelsey for the fantastic photos!
