The SwimWay Team Visits Rio For The 2016 Olympics

At SwimWay Swimming School we are passionate about swimming!  We get so much joy watching your children improve in the pool with us each term. We also love watching the best swimmers in the world compete at the Rio Olympics 2016!

For Dan, Ana and Tamsin it was an honour to watch these Olympic athletes at Rio 2016. Breaking records, winning medals and showcasing skills – such a treat to be there! As a result, our team is getting hyped up to get back to teaching for the Autumn Term starting in September!

Gold

Gold for Adam Peaty with another world record clocking in at 57.13 seconds to break his personal best. He won with the largest margin of victory on record in the event at the Olympics. He is also the first member of Team GB to win Gold in swimming since Adrian Moorhouse in 1988.

“When I am struggling it is important to have somebody there to tell me what is happening to my body”

Adam Peaty talking about the importance of his coaches after his first world record success in 2015

Our coaches are always in the water, able to guide and instruct the students. This is one of the most important benefits of the SwimWay teaching methodology for our private swimming lessons. Each lesson can be designed around the individual needs, strengths and weaknesses of the child. Rather than a block syllabus in larger classes.

Silver

Silver for Jazz Carlin for an utterly brilliant swim. An inspirational build up to achieve a personal best in the 400m freestyle!

‪Silver for Siobhan-Marie O’Connor, in the 200m Individual Medley. She overcame a persistent illness to swim an amazing and nail-biting race. She set a new British record of 2.06.88. She became the first British woman to win an Olympic medal in the 200m medley.

Silver for the Men’s freestyle relay team as well!
