Challenge 2 – Animal Challenge

Posted on: 14th April 2020

Can you jump like a Pike, Inchworm or Frog, walk like a Monkey, kick like a Donkey, scurry like a Crab, or bounce like a Cricket?

Your BSSCStayAtHome Challenge from Coach Barry this week is to watch the two videos below and have a try at the exercises yourselves.  Channel your inner animal and don’t forget to share your videos and tag us in!

Virtual training and resources

Posted on: 14th April 2020

We can’t be together in the pool right now, but that does not mean our swimmers cannot stay physically and mentally well and connected with each other.  For this to work we need all members of our club to come together, make suggestions and support each other.

Visit our Virtual Training and Resources hub to find information on Land based training activities, #BSSCStayAtHome Challenges, #BSSCStayAtHome Live Sessions, Online Resources and Volunteer Training.
