Max 3 adults per group

“Are you tired of feeling tired when you swim?”
“Do you find yourself out of breath at the end of each lap?”
“Have you ever wondered how others seem to just keep on swimming up and down without stopping?”
“Do you want to know how to swim faster, for longer and with less effort?”
“Do you currently swim breaststroke but long to be a front crawl swimmer?”
“Are you training for a triathlon this year and want to improve your swimming technique?”

If you answered yes to any of these questions then the Front Crawl Pool Program is just what you need!

Suitable for all abilities this program has been specially designed by Vicky the founder of Swimspirational to guide you through every stage so you can become the best swimmer you can possibly be

Over just 3 weeks you will not only learn the techniques to swim front crawl efficiently you will also learn how to apply them to your own stroke and gain the knowledge as to why these are so important.

Suitable for all levels of ability including those wanting to transition from breast stroke into swimming front crawl, triathletes, iron man competitors and those already swimming front crawl but with a desire to improve their overall efficiency and technique. You must be able to swim at least 15m unaided in either breast stroke or front crawl to take part.

Each 60 minute lesson develops a different part of the stroke covering:

Week 1 - Breathing & Body Position
Week 2 - Stroke Timing & Rotation
Week 3 - Pull & Kick

Detailed session notes are provided after each session and you will receive videos of your swimming to track your own progress throughout the program.

You will also receive a training plan for further personal development once the program has been completed.

Rotation - one of the most important factors in creating propulsion and efficiency in your stroke

When you then couple that action with a powerful underwater pull you generate more propulsion through the water

Rotation needs to be equal on both sides, as beautifully demonstrated by one of my swimmers Kim. Well done 🤩
