Fitness Goals swim programmes are aimed at Triathletes, open water and fitness swimmers. Our goal is to help you achieve your goal.
Head coach Ali Dennis has been coaching athletes for 20 years. Fitness goals operates out of Kilbirnie and Thorndon pools in Wellington and Huia pool in Lower Hutt.
The perfect course to help you improve your freestyle stroke efficiency and speed is "Gliding on!" - www.glidingon.com this is the swim version of the well know "Striding on!" run course.
Gliding on! takes a close look at your stroke through video analysis then re-teaches a better freestyle stroke for you. This 4 week course is an ideal lead up to more distance work or joining a squad. to register and learn more go to www.glidingon.com
