In a move to encourage more swimmers to take up competitive swimming, IBSC has recently introduced a new swimming class called Pre-Stroke Class for junior swimmers. The Pre-Stroke class was initiated by IBSC Head Coach, Coach Shazali since May 2012 and young swimmers who have already gone through the learn to swim process and who are pretty confident in water will be best suited to join this class.
The course of the swim class includes :
- light land exercise to strengthen the body and core muscles
- swimming laps in the short pool
- streamlining the swim
- learning starting and diving
- learning flip turns
Pre-requisite of the swimmers are :
- able to swim any 3 of the 4 strokes, either freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke or butterfly
- able to swim at least 25 metres of the pool
Regular classes are scheduled every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 5.00 pm. to 6.30 pm. Duration of the course will generally be 6 months after which the swimmers will progress to join the intermediate swimming classes.
There are many benefits that can be reaped from the class and these juniors will be better prepared to face swimming competition more confidently. It is also an avenue where children can learn and experience a team environment.
If your child is keen to join the above class, please contact IBSC Head Coach at 012-9163 797 or just drop by the training pool at Bandar Tun Razak on the designated days for a preview.
