- Clean, offshore conditions forecast all week guys – get your training in!
We held our first Aspiring board paddling training session last Friday 3rd led by coach Bresa and assisted by Nick. What a great turnout in some unforgiving easterly conditions, creating a fun and challenging environment, perfect for practicing the technical arts of punching out through the wind and waves, catching runners back to shore, and generally negotiating the break. The group is eagerly awaiting their next session this Friday. - Deano’s Comps paddle training group continues to attract great numbers and the crew is currently enjoying their focus of the endurance build part of the season with some longer sets, integrated running, ever present starts and finishes, and plenty of can turn practice.
- Board Training days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings 6am sharp, alternating between groups – please contact coaches if you are interested to try out and attend one of the groups.
- Sunday morning’s new warmup & skills session is an extra opportunity to spend some extra time on the water and go into club swim and surf activities ready and raring to go – every Sunday at 6:30am before the program officially kicks off at 7:30am with the Club Swim.
- Ski Training is slowly building momentum again after a quiet offseason, with specialist coach Brendan Downes making waves with the group when periodically back in town, supported by Ski Captain Bresa and the senior paddler group.
- Keep up your swim training! This is the backbone of every surf lifesaving club across the world, and one area we need to work hard on continuing to improve. Its incumbent on each member to keep up their swim proficiency and training, however we are aiming to make swimming a greater focus on Sunday’s and during multi-discipline training sessions.
