Private Swim Lessons

PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS

We coach swimming to people with a wide range of ability levels:

  • Adults who have never learned to swim
  • Those who are anxious in the water or have a fear of the water, perhaps due to a near-drowning experience
  • The athlete who competes in triathlon or wishes to compete in triathlon and is looking to gain efficiency and speed (if you're a fit runner or cyclist and can't understand how you can be out of breath after two lengths of swimming, this curriculum is for you!)
  • The swimmer who wishes to compete at the highest levels of USA Masters Swimming
  • The open water swimmer who wishes to compete in long-distance, endurance swim events
  • Those preparing for military special forces testing that need to learn and master combat side stroke, underwater swimming, treading water, and equipment swims

UNDERWATER VIDEO ANALYSIS

Underwater Video Analysis

We videotape your stroke both above and below the water from several angles. Every component of your stroke is then analyzed using motion analysis software that allows frame-by-frame viewing.

Assesses:
  • Body position
  • Balance
  • Alignment
  • Core rotation
  • Stroke timing
  • Recovery
  • Breathing
  • Kicking
  • Catch mechanics

Technique revisions and recommendations will be discussed to help correct stroke inefficiencies.

The swim video analysis session also serves as a course in swim theory and gives a nice overview of the swim lessons that usually follow (the how's and why's behind drills, for example). You learn where you are currently, where you need to go, and how you are going to get there.

Underwater video analysis—$250
