Vigor Swimming

 The Vigor swimming program doesn't offer group training sessions at a pool as all swimming pools offer squad training as part of their services. However, what we do offer is one on one coaching sessions for all levels. This may be for a beginner wanting to learn how to swim through to a competitive athlete needing technique help.

Over the summer months we like to get to the ocean or even a lake for some open water swimming. This provides a perfect opportunity to practice swimming in a group, sighting your course and dealing with variable water conditions. This can be in preparation for open water races and multi-sport events such as Adventure Racing or Triathlon.

Joining the Vigor Swimming Group

1. You can join the Vigor Swimming Group by becoming a Vigor Member for $77 a year as outlined on the Vigor Sport page. This gives you access to a year of free technique advice and support for your goal events. It also gives you discounts at the Vigor Clinic so you'll get your $77 back in no time, we like to look after our swimmers!

2. You can join Melbourne Adventure (MA) for $70 a year. MA is a multi-sport club set up to introduce people to a wide range of endurance sports with quality coaching. This option will be more appropriate than option 1. if you intend to race regularly in cycling, mountain biking or triathlon events. Liam is one of the coaches so you can talk to him about your swimming. 

Swimming Lessons

Liam is a Level 1 Triathlon coach, studied swimming technique and biomechanics during his Human Movement Degree, taught Austswim from babies to adults for 5 years and has competed in many open water swimming events over 15 years. He is also a brick and living proof bricks can swim!

If you join the Vigor Swimming Group, you are entitled to free technique advice. If you require more help than that we can meet for an hour and get started. The hour session costs $70 ($60 for Vigor members) and can be arranged at anytime.
