The keynote speaker at the Speedo SA Swim Coaches Conference in Pretoria in October 2010 was Coach Clive Rushton, currently Head Coach of the Singapore Sports School, formerly performance director of New Zealand Swimming, Canadian British Columbia, Great Britain Swimming & Greece. Clive was the captain of Great Britain swimming team at the 1972 Olympic Games and won awards from the British Coaches association, Greek swimming federation in addition to being a world renowned coach educator and swimming specific scientific researcher. He personally coached swimmers to Olympic medals, European medals and Commonwealth Games success.
The aim of the conference was to update coaches on his latest training methodology published as: “The effect of Biomechanics on Physiology”. Rushton introduced a unique approach to coaching and monitoring training which has been dubbed “the ultimate cheat sheet” by some coaches.
The integration of technique and physiological adaptation is comprehensively covered in an understandable language that coaches can use as an additional skill in their everyday programme prescription and application. Specific attention is given to using stroke rate as prescription & monitoring tool.
