Winter is a great time to work on new drills and build that aerobic engine. x-country and park-runners getting the foundations done under the watchful eye of Coach Lolly. And our swimmers use the opportunity to cross-train and build some of that crucial leg strength required to "kick like a mule" 🙃
is for both young and less young, so if you're keen to join in on the action, jump in and DM for details.
We have space for all runners, triathletes, swimmers, crossfitters, hyroxers, who want to boost their running or learn a new running skill - if only for a season. No contracts, no obligations, pay as you go. Make running as fun and playful as it should be (while getting stronger, fitter, faster). 🤩

| it's not the plan- it's the people
forget the obsession with "how" to get fitter, faster, stronger. the internet is already full of plans. greatness is not in what you do or how you do it: it's 100% about who you do it with.
and the "who" is not celebrity trainers or viral programs. the "who" are the tribe that fuel your joy and growth. they challenge your limits, celebrate your wins, and pull forward with love and grit.
the kind of tribe that doesn't just build your fitness- it builds you

Here we go! One week to and time to dial in all the finer details. "The hay is in the barn" as the saying goes so there's not much more fitness you can add at this stage, but you can certainly hone in and improve on your skills and your preparation.
This set also starts with some visualization so use this opportunity in your warmup to think about your put-ons and your clips before actually doing them.
Pay careful attention to what you're doing, the order, your hand placements, and which side you turn. These are details you can practice _anywhere_, _anytime_ outside the pool as well.
But most of all, celebrate your health, fitness, and progress over the year by soaking up nationals and achieving your own personal goals and wishing you the happiest competition ever!
Can't wait to see you all at the pool 🫶

🚨 *Special Announcement: Pool Rescue National Competition Prep Online Programs Now Available!* 🏅

That's right, folks! Time to get fitter, faster, stronger. Due to overwhleming requests from athletes across the provinces, we're super excited to release a series of training programs designed to help you prepare for 2025 Lifesaving Nationals. These programs are ideal for already-motivated swimmers ready to train with purpose and push their limits!

🔍 *A Very Important Note on Technique*

While these programs provide you with a world-class training structure and proven track record, it's essential to understand the *limitations* of following a program *without direct coach supervision*:

1. *Lack of Technique Correction in Real Time* – Without a coach watching you swim, small technical errors go unnoticed and lead to bad habits over time. Be extra careful you're not practicing the wrong thing.
2. *One-Size-Fits-Most Limitations* – These programs are designed for broad application, but may not account for your unique stroke, strengths, or movement patterns the way a coach on pool would adapt it.

👉 This means you’ll need to bring *extra diligence* to each session - especially in the technique-focused parts of the set. Video yourself often, stay conscious of form, and listen to your body.

🎥 *Want Feedback? We've Got You, Fam.*

For swimmers wanting the extra edge, we offer *video analysis and technique feedback* options. Submit your swim footage and receive expert breakdowns and personalized guidance to sharpen your performance.

🔥 These programs are built for serious athletes aiming for serious results. Let’s get to work. National competition waits for no one.

👉 And if you'd like to join a pool rescue squad that's focused and fast, then drop in with the Water program which runs out of Virgin Active, Table View. But act fast, spots are limited.

We're beyond stoked to see our LollyPop Agency athletes crushing it! These athletes have put in the hard work, dedication, and consistency to take their skills to the next level. And we're not just talking about swimming... our athletes have been putting in the miles with running and paddling training, on top of their lifesaving skills development with us!

Technical details matter, and our athletes have been honing their skills in areas like:

Fin work
Clips
Fin Put Ons
Breath holding

But it's not just about the technical stuff - it's about having fun, being part of a team, and pushing yourself to be your best!

We're incredibly proud of each and every one of you, and we can't wait to see you shine.

Our athletes headed to InterProvincials to represent Western Cape:
Jessie Allott Senior Stillwater Team
Matthew Brooker Junior Stillwater Team
Christian Van Heerden Nipper Surf and Stillwater Teams
Hannah Van Heerden Nipper Surf and Stillwater Teams
Bella Brooker Nipper Stillwater Team

Keep up the amazing work, and let's keep making waves! "

There's nothing like the energy of kids training together! It's what coaches live for. A group of determined youngsters, each pushing and giving their all, discovering what their own best is. That's the magic of "iron sharpens iron." 🏃‍♂️🏊‍♀️💪

As much as "Show me your friends and I'll show you your future" applies to communities and organisations, "show me your squad and i'll show you your victories" is built into the fabric of a team training together.

And it's because they don’t just build muscles or stamina: they build *character*. They cheer each other on, laugh through the tough drills, learn to disagree and respect each other, and celebrate each other and the team. That kind of positive energy is contagious and priceless!

And the friendships that blossom along the way aren’t just teammates. They’re future bridesmaids, groomsmen, or the ones you'll call for a last-minute babysitting favor. The little communities built on the training ground often last a lifetime.

So, here's to a great 2025 giving our kids the chance to thrive and form bonds that extend way beyond the sport. Because when kids train together, they don’t just sharpen each other—they *polish* their futures. 💥
