AP Race Masterclasses

AP Race is proud to introduce a brand-new learning experience for swimmers who are looking to develop specific skills to take their performance to the next level: AP Race Masterclasses.

Designed for swimmers who want to go beyond participation and truly understand performance, these sessions provide focused, small-group learning, centred on details that make the biggest difference. Each Masterclass explores a specific performance theme, allowing swimmers to develop clarity around why they are doing something, not just what to do.

Each session will be led by AP Race’s very own Head Coach, Will Bell, bringing elite-level understanding, both athletically and academically, into a practical and relatable environment. Our aim is not to replicate or replace a normal training session but to create a learning experience where swimmers can slow down, ask questions, experiment and refine skills and techniques with clarity and purpose.

What does a Masterclass experience look like?

  • Focused learning environment

    Maximum group size of 30 allows swimmers to understand and apply corrections immediately, rather than repeating lengths without clarity.

  • Performance understanding, not just instruction

    Swimmers will learn the reasoning behind technique and race skills, helping them retain improvements long after the session ends.

  • Direct interaction with experienced practitioners

    Participants are encouraged to ask questions, reflect and problem-solve, developing ownership of their swimming.

  • Transferable skills for daily training

    Every masterclass is designed to be applied straight back into their home club sessions.

Our Masterclasses have been meticulously designed to provide a world-class coaching opportunity, in an intimate environment to truly extract the very best out of yourself.

Throughout the three hour experience you can expect:

30 Minutes Registration, Introduction & Session Brief
1 Hour 45 Minutes Pool based session
30 Minutes Session Debrief & Conclusion
