TOP UP SESSIONS
Originally Set Up by Swim England, offering Top Up Sessions across the wider Bristol / Gloucester / Somerset area for 10 Years.
The City of Bristol Aquatics offers options for swimmers from other clubs looking to access additional training sessions, including valuable Long Course training and opportunites for coach development:
- Network Club additional Training options (see The City of Bristol Network)
- Saturday morning Top Up Session - once a week for those not in a Network Club
Both programmes offer sessions in addition to swimmers current training schedule with their home club.
There is no requirement to become a member of CoB whilst accessing the part time training opportunity and we encourage coaches to attend with their swimmers where possible, either to support in their coaching, or to collaborate re session planning / development / progression.
