What if I cannot complete the session in the allocated time?
Just swim for a maximum of the session time plus an additional 10 mins if you need it but no more. If you have not finished within this time please just get out and don’t worry. There is a balance between completing the session and becoming too tired to swim well!
What shall I do if I miss a session?
You can, if possible, complete the session at another time in the same week but do not swim more than 3 days in a row. Once you have moved into the next week then you have to let the missed session go!
I don’t have fins what should I do?
You may find certain drills more challenging without swimming fins. Where you have been advised to use fins but don’t have them, do the drill for just half a length and then swim with your full stroke to the end of the pool.
