Training program for Nipper titles

The Peninsula Leisure Centre will run a six-week surf training program, designed to give competitors in the Surf Life Saving Nipper State Titles in March the skills that they need to succeed.

The group will train on a Tuesday and Thursday morning starting January 22 under the instruction of coach Graeme Carroll.

Mr Carroll has had success in surf lifesaving, having coached 15 athletes that have placed in the top 20 in the Ironman Series, including Guy Leech.

It is expected that swimmers in this program will be able to swim 200m under four minutes, as well as have a basic technique in freestyle and backstroke.

The program is designed for swimmers aged eight to 12 years, as of January 1, 2013.
