Swimming Academy – Pool & Open Water

Indoor Pool Courses

We offer a variety of courses to help improve the technique and skills needed to gain efficiency and increased confidence and/or speed. Our friendly coaches are also swimming teachers, and instruct in groups of 1 (coach) to 4 (swimmers) per lane so you get a personalised and friendly experience in a safe environment.

Outdoor Pool Courses

The open-water course includes a mixture of theory and practical and can be aimed at either novice (complete newbies) or improver (wanting to improve and move up the pack) levels.You will come away with knowledge of safe open-water swimming as well as practical skills that increase confidence and performance. Small groups with no more than 10 per group allow a personalised approach where we can still give some 1-2-1 advice.

Cycling Academy

Cycling is more than just jumping on your bike and riding into the sunrise. Grinding those pedals and fighting the bike makes cycling hard work whereas smooth bike control with efficient action makes it far easier and more efficient.

There is an element of skill and technique required to cycle efficiently and at speed. This starts with your position and extends to you being smooth and spinning your legs; with improvements offering improved safety, stability and efficiency as well as pure speed.

Craven Complete is one of the first to offer adult and youth cycle skill sessions at both a novice and improver level. Quality coaching to small groups (currently 8-10) offers a friendly and approachable way of coaching a client lead (we coach what you need to know) session that is also fun. Sessions are on average 60-90 minutes long.

Running Academy

Unleash your inner Tigger so you can release your inner ‘Mo) and start bounding your way towards the finish line. Running is more than just putting one foot in front of the other as fast as you can. It has its own set of skills and techniques to produce an efficient action. Running with a tall and upright posture, controlling stride and cadence as well as appropriate pacing will go a long way to making running a pleasure and achieving personal best times.

Our workshops and courses go through to analyse your current style, and then, if necessary; give you the drills and skills to progress and develop. You will soon be seeing those times drop!
