Swim Squad

GLPT  COVID-19 UPDATE

For the latest information on GreenlightPT's return to normal training please join our Facebook Group:

Weekly coached swim sessions aimed at improving technique and fitness in a fun and motivating environment. 

The weekly group sessions are an ideal way to get in your swim training. You'll be seeded into a lane of similar ability swimmers and will get a structured workout with each session planned by Head Coach Adam Gibson. This means you will have none of the stresses of public lane swimming (busy lanes, poor etiquette, mixed abilities). Your progress is regularly checked with time trials every few months to ensure everyone is making improvements. The squad is a friendly bunch and it is a great opportunity to meet like-minded triathletes and swimmers. 
Sessions Includes:
  • 1 Hour of group swim training 
  • Structured and organised session for all abilities
  • Technique work
  • Speed and endurance work 
  • Lanes of similar ability (ie. you won't get held up like in public sessions) 
  • Progress recorded and analysed by coach​
The  pool sessions with GreenlightPT have been brilliant. I love doing them. My swim is unrecognisable from when I started  and I gained enough confidence to compete in my first open water triathlon.
