Upgrade Your Swim at The Olympic Pools & Fitness Centre
Whether you’re training for a triathlon, looking to improve your technique, or just want to make your swim sessions more effective, upgrading your swim can take your performance to the next level. At The Olympic Pools & Fitness Centre, we’ve got everything you need to help you do just that — from top-quality gear to swim squads and strength training in the gym.
Here’s how you can upgrade your swim today.
1. Start Using the Gym to Build Swim Power
If you’re not already combining gym work with your swim training, now’s the time. Strength training helps improve your stroke power, streamline body position, and overall endurance in the water.
At The Olympic, we’ve got a fully equipped gym right next to the pools. Focus on key swim muscles with exercises like:
Lat pull-downs for stronger pulls
Core work for better body control
Squats and lunges for explosive push-offs
A gym session 2–3 times per week can seriously level up your swimming.
2. Get Better Equipment: It Matters
Don’t underestimate the power of good gear. Wearing old or ill-fitting togs can drag you down — literally. Quality swimwear helps you glide more efficiently through the water, while well-designed goggles give you better visibility and comfort.
Our swim shop on-site at The Olympic has a great selection of performance swimwear, including:
Competitive togs and training suits
Anti-fog, leak-proof goggles
Training fins, hand paddles, and snorkels
Mesh bags and caps
Our team can help you find exactly what you need based on your swim goals.
3. Join a Swim Squad for Motivation and Coaching
Want to swim faster, more efficiently, and with more structure? Join a swim squad.
At The Olympic, we host multiple swim squads for all levels — from casual lap swimmers to competitive athletes. Training in a squad helps you:
Stay motivated with group energy
Follow structured sets designed by expert coaches
Learn technique tweaks that make a huge difference
Track your progress over time
Whether you’re new to squads or coming back after a break, there’s a lane ready for you.
Reach out to Swim Squads Newmarket, Hilton Brown or United for more information.
4. Track Progress and Stay Consistent
One of the biggest upgrades you can make is tracking your swim sessions. Use a swim watch or a simple notebook to log:
Distance swum
Stroke type
Time per lap
How you felt during the session
Seeing your progress over time helps you stay consistent, motivated, and ready to set new swim goals.
