I arrived an hour ahead of the session. This was exceptional. I’d completed Week 3 Run 2 of Couch to 5k and had planned to shower and change at the Leisure Centre – instead I just changed my shirt.
The session plan, figured out earlier in the day from an old plan, mixed in a lot of BR drills. Some swimmers still new to the squad we did a poolside ‘icebreaker’ with a ball and the ‘name game’ as well as stretching and warmup.
Session plan to follow.
I had just 7 swimmers; it is still the school holidays.
I was also being ‘observed’ do assessment – a first but i felt perfectly comfortable with it.
My faults were being distracted by him and later a masters swimmer instead of concentrating on the swimmers. indeed I left one on the block and walked to the other end. I also doubt my ability to demo one of the drills. This is why I’d like to be able to playback videos from my iPad.
