Durrington Otters, had 3 swimmers attending the course, Eloise, Rory and William.
This was a residential course lasting a week held at Bryanston School, Blandford, Dorset.
With a 132 swimmers (maximum numbers) and 22 staff - without doubt, the highest standard of swimmers attending since the course commenced in 1982.
Invited specialists included international swimmers, Matt Clay and Matt Bowe [pictured] who took sessions over the first two days on behalf of Total Swimming, Anita Bean talked to each group on nutrition, Mark Holland sports physiologist took each group for two lectures over his two days at the course on Sports Psychology and Regional Talent and Development Coach, Andrei Vorontsov gave a lecture to staff and local club coaches.

The course is thankful for the Development Grant which made this possible.
Each swimmer took home a special course produced handbook and a detailed portfolio covering all water sessions and lectures carried out.

Everyone had a great time and are already looking forward to next year’s course.
