Junior Athlete Development Class

This swimming clinic is held in conjunction with the "Junior Athlete Development Program" established by Kamakura City in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It features Olympic athletes and is designed for junior athletes aspiring to become future athletes.

Every year, participants are visibly impressed by the instruction from Olympians, and many report increased motivation for their daily training.

It also provides an opportunity for association members to learn new coaching methods.

Furthermore, the clinic offers not only swimming instruction but also fun and meaningful activities such as relays with Olympians and autograph sessions.

2025 Junior Athlete Development Swimming Classes

For the Junior Athlete Development Class held in August of this year, we invited Reiko Nakamura, an Olympian from Kanagawa Prefecture, to teach mainly backstroke. Participants commented that she learned a lot from the drills and swimming tips she taught in an easy-to-understand manner. At the end of the class, everyone took part in a relay race, which was a very exciting, fun, and meaningful experience.
