I am doing my A level sports studies project on mental practice/preparation before a swimming event at the differing levels from club to county to national. I would appreciate any information that anyone has on this subject or any email addresses that could be of any use to me.

Hannah...

As a former high school swimmer, I have had experience with mental training for swimming events. In particular, I participated in several seminars for mental aspects of competitive swimming. These seminars were led by a man who has given seminars to many amateur and elite athletes. If you would like, I could give you his name and address...I'm sure he would be happy to help you with your project. Please feel free to email me if you would like more information.

Regards...Thea
