What happens in an ocean confidence course session? 🏊🌊

Our Ocean Confidence courses always start off with some time by the beach talking through the conditions and sharing our experiences and expectations of the surf.

We then run through some drills in the surf putting our theory back into practice.

Drills may include, focusing on our ins and outs, calming our breathing and being aware which side is best to breathe on according to conditions, navigating and using rips to our advantage, body surfing waves into the beach. At times, we will purposefully put our body and mind under stress so we progress in our water ability.

After each drill, we talk through what our experience was and then explain the theory behind our swim. Sharing how the ocean felt and what happened in practice with each other helps to build confidence.

Here are our five tips for Ocean Swim Race Prep. 🌊🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

1.When going out the easiest option is to identify if there is a rip which you can take out and give you a boost at the start of your race. At the start of an ocean swim, don’t be scared to defy the herd of swimmers and run to where the rip is.

2.Run through the water until the water surface is at about knee-height, once the water is at knee-height it is faster to do a high-knee run. When the water is above your knees you can start dolphin-diving. Dive just under the surface, dig your hands into the sand and move forward with each dive. This will ensure you keep moving forward.

3.At the beginning of the race, you need to conserve energy. Swim at an easy pace. When faced with an oncoming wave, you need to be prepared to dive under before the wave and breaking water is upon you; the larger the wave the sooner you dive under and deeper, the smaller the wave, you can get away with diving down late and more shallow water.

4.The key is to dive down below the breaking wave and the turbulence of the white water (breaking waves) so far until you find calm water.

5.Once you near the shore, make sure you are swimming towards a sandbank where waves are breaking all the way into shore. Even if you are not a confident body surfer, waves will push you in. Instead of breathing looking straight to the side, breathe almost under your armpit so you can spot any waves coming.

LAP TIME SESSIONS ARE BACK! We pride ourselves on

LAP TIME SESSIONS ARE BACK!

We pride ourselves on running our Lap Time sessions a little differently than your typical busy squad session:

👊🏻We are an inclusive group of swimmers, triathletes, ocean-lovers and surfers. Whatever your goals may be each Lap Time session has something for everyone.
👊🏻Your coach will introduce themselves, introduce you to the regular swimmers and put you at ease at your first session.
👊🏻If you are unfamiliar with squad training and using the pacing clock or just need a refresher your coach will be able to guide you.

Lap Time sessions are for people of all abilities. Whether you are slow or fast, you can still come down and get some kms under your belt. Instead of offering one standard set that everyone does exactly the same, your coach will adapt the swim set to suit each individuals’ needs, abilities and speeds.

Our Lap Time swim sets include
✔️use of pull buoys and bands to activate your core as well as Individual Medley sets with all four strokes to use different muscles.
✔️ Using the clock and time trials to track your progress and fitness. No mindless freestyle following the blackline!

Lap time sessions run every Saturdays 2:00 – 3:00pm at Prince Alfred Park Pool

Sunday Swimspiration! The emerging world of swim

Sunday Swimspiration!

The emerging world of swimpacking! Would you?!!!
......

Swimpacking - or swimcamping, as it's known according to the school of thought inspired by another pioneer of the sport, Sean Conway - fits snugly next to its "packing" siblings. All involve packing your camping gear into a bike bag or backpack, strapping it on and setting forth. In this case, into the water.

Before Jonas Deichmann came along, Sean Conway held the record for the world’s longest triathlon after cycling, running and swimming the length of Britain in 2015. The swimming leg saw him swim 200 km over two weeks. Pictures show him tugging a small, red raft to carry his gear: one of the first swimpacking rafts.

In an attempt to figure out swimpackers’ specific gear needs, I stumbled across a small, vibrant community of swimpackers through Colin Macleod’s Instagram. Macleod started swimcamping in 2019, and has created several helpful videos to guide beginners through the essential process of strapping their gear onto a watertight raft.

It took me several tests to get everything I needed for camping into a single bag, but eventually I found a system that worked. And off I went.

Training Goal- The Big Swim, 30th Jan! Held on th

Training Goal- The Big Swim, 30th Jan!

Held on the last Sunday of January each year with a distance of 2.5 - 2.8 km, it is known as The Big Swim because it is BIG.

Conditions vary from dead calm to testing south-easterly or uncomfortable nor'easter’s, which can arrive early in summer with swells from all directions making for challenging swimming when you breathe to the left. It is a huge achievement to complete one swim, and some big swimmers have completed over 30 swims.

This year’s event will take place on Sunday 30th January 2022, and kicks off at 8:30am with the Ray White Prestige Palm Beach Little Big Swim. The Macquarie Big Swim commences at 10am.

This 1km Ray White Prestige Palm Beach Little Big Swim is around kiddies corner at Palm Beach. This is a perfect introduction to open ocean swimming with enormous water safety and a fabulous location for a short course swim.

What and when to eat after a big swim? Recovery

What and when to eat after a big swim?

Recovery post-swim is extremely important, especially if you have been unable to fuel appropriately before an early morning session.

👉What and when should I be eating after a swim to maximise recovery?
The sooner the better, ideally within one hour after swimming. After a hard session your body needs essential nutrients to kick start the growth and repair process.

👉Is protein or carbohydrate more important for recovery?

Both are critical for proper recovery after any exercise. Carbohydrates are the body’s main fuel and are stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver. After exercise stores will be depleted and need to be replaced before your next workout session.

Protein is vital for the growth and repair of muscle tissue. Hard training causes the breakdown of the muscle tissue, which is made from protein. Taking protein on board after exercise provides the building blocks (amino acids) for growth and repair, and can reduce muscle soreness the next day.

20g of protein is the magic amount you need to optimise the recovery process after heavy training.
