Hi I’m Katie, an Olympic artistic swimmer and coach. I competed at the London 2012 Olympic Games and coach the duet in the Rio 2016 games. As some of you may know I relocated to the Isle of Man 6 months ago to develop artistic swimming in the island, a sport they haven’t had access to. I also coach the England Youth squad at the national sports centre in Bristol. The squad train at half term/holidays and will compete at the Croatia cup in June this year.
I created Synchro Strength during lockdown in 2020 when the pools were closed. Synchro strength offers an online land program that can all be done from your own home.
Land training is very important in artistic swimming, giving us the foundations to be a better athlete in the water and prevents injuries from occurring. As a full time athlete we trained 40+ hours per week and most of these were I the water in the lead up to London. About 10-12 hours were on land doing strength and conditioning, flexibility and walking through our routines.
My program gives swimmers the access to strength and flexibility sessions each week to improve and achieve their goals. If you would more information on this please message.
I also have an online shop that sells training products to aid land and pool training. My top product is the feet bands. These help improve the muscles to point the ankle and the toes. You can wear them whilst watching the tv or doing land exercises such as splits.
If you think others would like my account please share with them.
Thanks following, I appreciate all the support.
Katie
