Swimming superstar Mark Foster to give masterclass in Malvern this week

Malvern Editorial 24th Oct, 2016   0

SWIMMING superstar Mark Foster is set to splash his way into Malvern later this week when he will coach the young stars of tomorrow.

The six-times world champion and five-times Olympian is bringing his successful one-day swimming camp to Malvern Active, Malvern College Sports Complex on Thursday (October 27).

BBC pundit Foster will also be joined by Katy Sexton, the first British woman to win a World Championship title, and they will share their winning techniques with the swimmers.

The coaching team also includes top strength and conditioning coaches, nutritionists and sports science experts.




Youngsters, aged between 9 and 18, will be coached on all aspects from improving stroke technique, speed and endurance to advanced land training fitness, strength and flexibility programmes, as well as motivation, self-belief, race preparation and tips on nutrition.

Rob Young, operations manager at Malvern Active, says: “This is an incredible and unique opportunity for our young local talent to learn from two of Britain’s most successful swimmers.


“Set to be an informative and practical day, we’re looking forward to welcoming Mark and his team to the Malvern College Sports Complex.”

The initiative from Mark Foster has already inspired thousands of children around the UK to achieve the best level of swimming they can, using fun and informative teaching techniques to engage both young swimmers and their parents, who are also invited to come along and observe.

The camps are suited for all levels of swimmers who are currently competing at club, county, regional or national level.

The day costs £95 which includes Mark’s Sporting Heroes Book and an MFSA swim hat. For more details about the camps or to book your child a place, please visit www.mfsa.co.uk.
