I have the ability to get in the water with the swimmer to use my own technique to supplement their learning which I believe is extremely valuable. I like to first speak with the swimmers to learn their goals and what they would like to work on before jumping into the water. I then have them warm up which is where I am able to see what it is we should work on. Given my 20 year experience in the sport, I am able to identify what needs to be tweaked or modified to help the swimmer achieves a proficient or dynamic stroke. I then run the swimmer through various drills while tying it back to the respective stroke we work on. Post session- I send a cheat sheet on what we worked on and any supplemental videos I think they would find helpful.
What we can work on: underwaters, any stroke, pacing, open water swimming, turns, and starts.
