Synchro Strength

Coach
Katie Chapman

My name is Katie Chapman, London 2012 Olympic Artistic Swimmer and Rio 2016 coach. Over the last 25 years I have learned and developed a program that allowed me to stay strong and flexible for my sport.

This 3 month plan is the first phase of training for beginners to the sport and those in the sport who find they need help with their end of range strength.
