Learn the art of Breaststroke from the very best of all time! Olympic Champion and 10 Times World Record Holder Adam Peaty is offering to share his secrets.
Fresh from the 2019 Fina World Championships in Korea and just about to start prep for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Swimming Events has managed to secure a one time only stroke clinic with Adam and the rest of the team present their winning formula.
This one-time clinic to be held at Macclesfield, will provide a unique opportunity to hear Adam’s immediate thoughts on his World Championship performance and to learn about how he is preparing to “attack” his Olympic Title in Tokyo next year. For those that attended the race clinics, this one will be a similar format but with different content at each station.
This Swimming Events Stroke Clinic Featuring Adam reflects the reality of life as an International Swimmer, so in addition to the pool work there is a gym session delivered by a Adam Peaty's Strength and Conditioning Coach, a Team Activity and A Classroom based presentation.
Parents and swimmers will also have the opportunity to participate in a question and answer session with Adam Peaty. If you have a question that you have been bursting to ask Adam, this is your chance! This will be followed by a photo and autograph session with Adam and the rest of the team.
How to use nerves to your advantage!
Course Content
- Swim Session
- Breaststroke is a highly technical stroke and perfecting your technique is critical to success in the pool. Whilst this is great to master in a relaxed environment, the key is trying to mirror this technique under pressure. This is the focus of the pool work. Adam Peaty and Edward Baxter will be leading the session and working on perfecting your breaststroke technique and then will work on applying this under pressure.
- Gym Session
- The Gym session will be led by Rob Norman. Gym work is vital to a swimming programme and as the expert in swimming specific gym work Rob can offer unique insights into this.
- Team Activity
- The Team activity will be led by Rio 2016 Olympian Tim Shuttleworth. Although you stand on the blocks alone when spending upwards of 30 hours a week with your training group having team skills is massively important. As a Swimmer and as someone who always thrives on a relay there is no one better to conduct this part of the day than Tim.
- Presentation and Q&A
- Adam Peaty will be sharing his secrets. You will gain a unique insight into his Gladiator mentality and discover how that enabled him to become Olympic Champion. The day will finish with a short Q&A session giving swimmers and parents the opportunity to pick the brains of the man behind the medals.
Meet and learn from the best!
