• So incredibly proud of these two competing in their school swim carnival today. They have both been putting in the training to be more comfortable, confident and efficient in the water. 3rd place in each stroke for Aidan and 1st in freestyle and backstroke, 2nd in breaststroke for Josie. 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅 Just by trying your best, your winners 🏆 #teamgoodswim #goodswimmanly

  • 'I am new to Manly and want to be able to swim competently in the ocean. The goal is swimming to Shelly Beach. I need coaching and some confidence. After a couple of pool sessions to work on technique and breathing we headed into the ocean. Kathryn swam Manly to Shelly Beach this morning - goal accomplished!!! Awesome work, next week to swim both ways 🤙🏊‍♂️ #oceanswimming #oceanswim #oceanskills #oceanswimpools #oceanswimskills #learntooceanswim #goodswimmanly

  • There are various different ways to practice breath control for your swimming. One is to swim laps under water, see if you can complete half a lap under water. You can try irregular breathing patterns in your workout, these are called hypoxic sets. Try running underwater, you may need to use some kind of weight as this is really quite hard (as I found out trying this)! Be extra careful when doing these exercises and ideally have a buddy with you. Do not push yourself so hard that you feel dizzy, go slowly, one step at a time just enough to push yourself. Be aware that a burning feeling in your lungs is normal while practicing breath control. You produce lactic acid in your body when you hold your breath, which causes that burning sensation. #learntoswim #learningtoswim #strokecorrection #oceanswimming #learntooceanswim #goodswimmanly

  • Why is Being Able to Float Important? Many water related accidents are caused when people unintentionally fall into the water and begin to panic. Floating equips you with the ability to roll on to your back and places you in an ideal position to relax and breathe. Floating on your back is a great way to get more comfortable in the water, feel the water and to relax without the full effort of swimming. Floating on your back is a great way to rest to catch your breath and also is an important safety skill if you're stranded in water. #learntoswimlessons #learntoswim #learningtoswim #strokecorrection #oceanswimskills #oceanskills #goodswimmanly

  • By observing from multiple angles many different things about technique and skills are picked up. • Front and rear on views help us to look at the swimmers alignment in the water. • Side on viewing is the preferred position for assessing body and arm movement patterns, stroke timing and the head and body position. • Viewing from an elevated or overhead position can be most revealing particularly in regards to body and arm movement of all strokes, alignment and rotation. • Underwater observation is invaluable for insight into your stroke and propulsion in the water to ensure correct efficiency and effectiveness. #learningtoswim #learntoswimlessons #learntoswim #learntooceanswim #strokecorrection #goodswimmanly

  • Cabbage Tree Bay is an aquatic reserve that aims to protect marine life. It covers an area of approximately 20 hectares, from the southern end of Manly Beach, including the rocky shores and beaches to Shelly Beach... and it's on our doorstep!! An amazing underwater world to enjoy whilst ocean swimming.

  • For ocean swimming you need to practice swimming in rougher conditions, through waves and choppy water. This means we need to adapt our technique and breathing to suit, whereas in the pool the water is generally still due to protection by the pool walls. But swimming in open water is easier to fall into a rhythm and breathing pattern, there are no interruptions i.e. pool walls can break up your stroke rhythm. Just remember... 1. NEVER swim alone 2. Relax and breathe 3. Slow and steady, adapt to the conditions of the day. Ocean swimming is growing in popularity. If you want to start or improve your ocean swimming then please get in touch and let's get in the water. #learntooceanswim #oceanswimming #oceanswimskills #learntoswimlessons #goodswimmanly

  • When she rocks up saying she is still struggling to swim more than 3 laps... and then swims 1km across Freshwater bay and back 🤙 Surprise ocean swim for Ana 🐟🏊‍♀️ such beautiful conditions and clear water this morning. Lots of little fish, stingrays and an eagle ray. It's amazing the freedom you get when you take away the pool walls. New swimmers and kids can get so stuck with distance when practising in a pool. As soon as you take away the walls that control distance they just keep swimming and don't even realise. Great work Ana, Manly to Shelly next 🏊‍♀️ #oceanswim #learntooceanswim #oceanswimming #goodswimmanly
