London to LA Squad Training
Vikings swimmers train in squads, each squad training sessions are tailored to the swimming level and goals of the swimmers in them.
Vikings runs 4 Squads, the first 3 are named after past Olympic cities (London, Rio, Toyko), and our top squad is named after the next city due to hold the Olympic games (Los Angeles or LA).
The Vikings comprehensive training programmes for our Squads encompasses various aspects of technique and skills to ensure their readiness for competitive high performance swimmers.
Swimmers begin with warm-up routines both on land and in the water, and are primed to optimise their performance. Dedicated sessions then focus on refining swim technique, honing each stroke to maximise efficiency and speed in the water.
Endurance training forms a crucial component of the programme, building the physical and mental resilience necessary to sustain prolonged efforts during the swim journey.
Swimmers are provided with opportunities to engage in various swim competitions at home, away or internationally, allowing them to apply their skills in a competitive environment and fine-tune their race strategies. Through this holistic approach, participants are equipped with the skills and conditioning required to excel in the London to Paris challenge.
