MMD Aquatics is an inclusive and progressive swimming club based in the Cape Town CBD. We cater for swimmers of all ages groups and skill levels, focusing on the individual needs of the athlete – from pure fitness to Olympic aspirations.
Our coaching programs are built around Race pace training and ultra short race pace training techniques, which are ultra time efficient training models which allow us to focus on technical aspects as opposed to pure endurance.
Head coach Maik Diercks, who is well-known for his strong technical background, believes that technique far outweighs repetition. “Consistent technical focus is essential for the progress of any swimmer – be it a beginner or a pro – which is why technical correction is an integral part of our programs. And the good news is that having fun is equally important!
