Coaches and members of the Olds Rapids Swim Club are putting into practice tips they received from Swim Alberta sports development director Jackie Cool.
Cool visited the club at the Olds Aquatic Centre late last year.
She spoke with head coach Cecilia Wessels and coach Leah Peterson as well as yoga coach Carrie Wiwcharuk.
Wessels says she and Peterson participated in one-on-one sessions with Cool.
"(We) were provided with a multitude of connections in social media, training programs and equipment pieces," Wessels says.
Wiwcharuk and coach Jazzlyn Thompson interacted on deck with Cool.
Wessels says that was a chance to "question and tap into the wealth of information Jackie brought (on) aspects of muscle development, attention-grabbing words, technique and teamwork."
Swimmers also got a chance to meet with Cool individually and as a group. They found her fun to deal with and she gave them lots of tips on how to improve their technique.
"We are excited to implement new ideas into our training both physically, mentally and socially and be ready to show off at our next club visit," Wessels says.
