Setting goals and targets regularly will help you improve your swimming performance, focusing not just on your strengths but also your weaknesses. Working on small 'bite sized' process goals daily or weekly will build your confidence, helping you to be focused and motivated to achieve your bigger performance goals, whether that be - break 30 seconds for 50m freestyle or win a National Medal.




Basingstoke Bluefins Swimming Club has developed its own goal setting worksheet to break down the sometimes complicated goal setting process. Each stage will lead you through your goal setting journey, giving you some helpful hints and tips along the way.

Good luck and remember... "A goal should scare you a little and excite you a lot!"
