Training
Maddocks Fitness kick off S&C programme
We are delighted to welcome Craig Maddocks from Maddocks Fitness to the BSSC team!
Craig will be delivering specialist dryland Strength & Conditioning coaching, starting with the Age Group and Senior Performance squads on Tuesday evenings at the College.
Maddocks Fitness have a long history of training swimmers, and work with many of the top swimmers and clubs in the South East. Craig’s programme will be focusing on S&C, mindset and nutrition, and over the coming months Craig introduce these new elements to training. This will help improve swimmers’ fitness, performance and recovery, as well as their general health and wellbeing – which in turn will result in improved performance, more effective training and reduced chance of injury.
Craig delivered a fantastic first session on Tuesday 7th January, with plenty of hard work, enthusiasm and positive feedback from the swimmers. Welcome to the BSSC team, Craig!
