Available For:
There are a wide range of services
Darren can provide to clubs and individuals including single and
multiple swim clinic sessions.
One on One:
Darren can give personal one to one swimming tutution on any stroke, though he'll probably only demonstrate breaststroke!! Can include a chat over a drink once the session is finished.
Swim Clinics:
Darren will turn up at your club and give a short presentation on his background, motivations and what it takes to be a world class swimmer.
This will be followed by a demonstration of breaststroke drills and skills in the pool which make up the essentials of swimming techniqually good breaststroke.
The swimmers will then be put in lanes for a drill by drill instruction to better breaststroke using the same drills demonstrated by Darren.
At the end of the session there will be an answer and question session where swimmers, parents and coaches get to ask Darren anything.
If the Clinic is a day or longer then the extra swim sessions can include more skill time along with a higher intensity session to view how the newly learnt skills hold up under pressure.
Land sessions which will cover flexibility and circuit sessions can also be included, along with talks on goal setting or nutrition.
Swim Camps:
Swimcamps will be organised through out the year, for more information on dates and locations please e-mail Darren from the contact page.
Consultancy coaching:
This is something that Darren has been doing with a couple teams. Once every 4-6 weeks Darren will visit your Club and take a session. Usually the first time or two he will start the session with some demonstrations in the pool and then take a session. He will work closely with the coaches and will pass on ideas that he has learnt over more than 10 years of International swimming. He has been lucky enough to travel the world learning new training techniques off the worlds top coaches. Each swimming team is different and this is a flexable programe which gives swimmers and coaches easy access to one of the countries top swimmers.
Jon Pardoe, head coach of Ellesmere college Titans says "The swimmers really love working with Darren and can't wait for him to return again to show him their improvements. Its a huge motivation for the swimmers to have someone like Darren to work with."
