Why This?
As a swimmer, there is no better feeling than setting a personal best in the pool!
However, this can be difficult for Masters (Adult) Swimmers, because work, children and other commitments can often get in the way of precious training time.
Therefore, to get faster, it's important that Masters Swimmers get the most out of their time in the pool and gym.
That doesn't just mean effective training sets, but also on-point recovery and nutrition.
Hence, Recreation to Racer is an online swimming program, designed to help UK Masters Swimmers to swim faster by bringing intention, structure and consistency to their training, nutrition and recovery regimes, as well as their competition preparation.
In addition, it takes into account the time constraints Masters Swimmers face and therefore, is designed to fit around busy schedules by choosing exercises and sets that maximize swimmers' improvement to training time ratio, as well as simplifying recovery and nutritional concepts into easy, actionable steps.
Finally, the program does away with monotonous and exhausting sets and is designed to be energizing and enjoyable by programming novel and interesting sessions that still fulfil the scientific principles for you to get stronger, fitter and leaner.
All of this is with the goal of getting you to swim faster on limited training time, whilst feeling more energized and enjoying training, so that you can break personal bests and qualify for the BIG Masters Swimming competitions!
Your Coach
Hi, I'm David Westcough,
I'm a competitive Masters Swimmer for East Leeds & Great Britain.
Every year, I compete in the Swim England Masters National Short Course Championships, as well as other national competitions.
In 2023 & 2024 I even competed in the European Masters Swimming Championships!
However, my swimming career was once not so illustrious.
Back at the end of 2017, when I decided to take my swimming more seriously, I could only qualify for the smallest of competitions.
Despite all of the time and effort I was putting in, I wasn't getting faster; just exhausted and frustrated.
At times I questioned whether I was capable of getting quicker at all.
However, over the years since then, I subsequently learned that my training (nutrition & recovery) methods weren't conducive to swimming faster.
I discovered that I was merely doing junk volume, as opposed to intentionally training the weaknesses in my stroke(s).
And when I made the change from the former to the latter, not only did I get faster, but I also started to enjoy training more.
Most excitingly of all, I was able to qualify for and compete in bigger and bigger competitions!
This makes me best-placed to support other Masters Swimmers, as I have been there myself...
Feeling frustrated about my lack of progress in swimming faster, despite the effort that I was putting in.
Feeling exhausted because of all of the effort that I was putting in.
Feeling bored of swimming length after length with no real intention.
However, through the methods we'll use in this program, I turned things around.
First I started to feel more energetic and enjoy training.
Then, I got faster and faster...
And now, it's time for you to do the same!
Why Now?
As you're reading this, it's clear that there's something about your current training regime that doesn't feel right.
Either, you're not improving as fast as you want to, or you feel your not getting enough return for the effort that you're putting in.
And you can continue with what you're doing right now, but don't expect your results to be any different!
As Albert Einstein famously said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result".
For you to obtain the results that you're looking for, something MUST change.
And the earlier you make that change, the sooner you stand to benefit...
The sooner you start to enjoy training, feel more energised and swim faster!
So, don't delay, join today!
How Is This Program Different?
Typically, other programs consider ONLY ONE of the important aspects (training, nutrition, recovery, etc.) of becoming a faster swimmer.
Recreation to Racer combines and simplifies all of the important aspects into one comprehensive program, as well as teaches you how to align them, to accelerate your improvement as a swimmer.
Similarly, other programs typically ONLY provide you with set exercise routines or meal plans.
As a result, they don't tell you why you're doing the things that you're doing, how to personalise them or, what to pay specific attention to, based on your personal circumstances.
Instead, Recreation to Racer sets out to teach you the important scientific principles, so that you can personalise and create your own training, nutrition and recovery regimes, to best align to your personal goals and circumstances.
How Does The Program Work?
Recreation to Racer guides you through an explanation of all of the important aspects of mindset, training, nutrition and recovery that you need to consider, to be a successful masters swimmer, as well as help you to implement them into their your busy life.
It's delivered through a 6-week series of short video lessons and activities, so that you can implement and start benefitting from the teachings of the program quickly and with ease, as well as understand what we're doing at each stage and why.
You can also ask questions at weekly group coaching sessions with your coach, David, to ensure that you don't get stuck, as well as have any bespoke queries about your personal situation answered.
