Freestyle training for triathletes – in collaboration with Province of Limburg

Market demand
Keen endurance athletes asked ODS to provide swim practice in preparation for swimming races and triathlons.

Solution from ODS
Together with the certified instructors of EDO Sports, ODS drew up a training programme. In the Geusselt swimming pool in Maastricht, beginners, advanced and expert swimmers improved their swimming technique and fitness level. Practice sessions are organised in groups, but with attention to individual improvement points. Practice takes place once a week from 7 to 8 a.m. The duration of the programme is 12 weeks (3 months) with an option to extend. The costs amount to € 46,- a month for a weekly 1 hour training session (check up-to-date tariffs on www.ods-vitaal.nl)

Results
Enthusiastic participants. The swim practices are very successful and therefore offered multiple times a year.

Participants awarded the following marks:

Accommodation: 9.7

Support from the trainer: 9.4 

Reaction of participants:

• “Learned a lot, very professional instructors.”
• “The smaller the group, the more attention you receive to improve your technique. Groups of 6 are ideal.”
• “Very satisfied with the advanced swim practice. I took part for the second time and I notice I keep improving.”
• “Great combination morning swim with good accessibility.”

“Triathlon is hot in the province of Limburg. Can you think of anything better than finishing your triathlon with freestyle swimming? ODS encourages athletes in the Maastricht area to pursue this ambition!”
