Spencer Swim Team is delighted to announce a brand-new Masters training session on Wednesday evenings from 8:30–9:30 pm at Alleyn’s School pool in Dulwich. This new slot expands our training options and gives more flexibility and accessibility to our current members—while also welcoming new swimmers from across Southeast London.

Whether you’re based in Crystal Palace, Dulwich, Herne Hill, Peckham, Forest Hill or the surrounding neighbourhoods, this is a great opportunity to get involved with one of London’s leading Masters swim clubs. The session is designed for adult swimmers who want to improve their fitness, develop their technique, or train for competition in a supportive and high-quality coaching environment.

Spencer Swim Team offers a structured training programme across the week, and this additional session ensures more swimmers can benefit from our coaching and community—no matter their schedule.

Come along and give it a try. We’d love to see you in the water!

Lockdown Land Training

Spencer Swim Team — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 10:39:34 +0000

We’ve asked Head Coach Steve to produce a new programme of land training to help keep us in good shape whilst we’re stuck on dry land. We’ll let Steve explain all the details…

Dear Spencer Swimmers,

Here we all are having had a pretty miserable and dry January. Not dry in the alcohol sense but in the swimming sense. If the vaccination programme goes according to plan there is some hope that we will all be back in the water in May.

Who knows when pool competition will start but there will be outdoor swimming from June for sure. We are planning a weekly get together at Thorpe Park as soon as the lake opens. So, we need to get you working!!!Virtual Training Sessions

We are going to kick off a twice weekly virtual session with me, Mondays and Thursdays at 8pm. The focus will each week be one session of core work and one of cardio. We will commence 22nd February with the first zoom session that evening and the second on 25th February, both at 8pm. The sessions will last for approximately 40-45 minutes following a short introduction from me and end with the opportunity for some banter.The club “IT department” will send out a Zoom link to all who wish to be involved. To do so please email to register your interest: spencerswimteam@gmail.com I do hope there is a good uptake for the weekly sessions, it will be both an opportunity to do something and of course see your teammates in a visual form.

New Core/Band Programmes
Accompanying this note is a new cardiovascular session and also the stretching which is important. Additionally, I am providing core and band programmes, see attached.

Cardio Ladder – Team Challenge
Lastly, we are reinstigating the Cardio ladder. However, to make it a little more interesting and motivational we are introducing a “team challenge”. Teams will be groups of 3 of preferably mixed gender, doing their exercises concurrently and submit their joint time, i.e. simply add the time taken for the cardio pyramid and submit, plus your joint age of course. We will start our first week on Monday 22nd February. Submit to me by Sunday evenings: sbaker50@btinternet.com. The ladder as previously will be published weekly.

See you all on the 22nd Feb.

Best wishes, Steve
