Cork swimmers forced to come up with an innovative approach to training

The computer screen became the norm with swimmers quickly familiarising themselves with Zoom. Core workout sessions were provided through the medium, as were weekly mobility sessions with physiotherapists. Nutritional advice was also available. There was a lot of emphasis on staying connected and looking after one’s mental health and well-being.

Every day an aquatic word was released on social media and members were challenged to identify the letters in the word to the A-Z exercises and complete 20 minutes of activity.

There was some relief when the Government announced that performance athletes could return to their training bases from June 8.
