Penguins

Coached by Sheena Bassett, Gordon Saxby, Jo Yeomans and Donna Read

Penguins is coached by Sheena Bassett with assistance from fellow swimming teachers  Gordon, Donna (who is also the Penguins Squad Rep.) and Jo.

The skills we teach you are:

• Fundamental technique of front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly
• Lane discipline and etiquette (e.g. when overtaking, swim round, not over!)
• Using the clock
• Survival skills (what to do if you find yourself in cold water.)
• Correct starts, turns and finishes
• Diving
