1-2-1 Stroke Correction:
The 1-2-1 Stroke Correction service
offered by Swim Smooth is the second stage in your swim stroke
correction development pathway following your initial 1-2-1
Video Analysis Consultation. Please make sure that when
booking your 1-2-1 appointment, that the initial video analysis
consultation is a pre-requisite to the Stroke Correction service.
Following
on from the video analysis consulation, you will book in for
the 1-2-1 stroke correction session within 7 to 10 days. It
is possible to do both these sessions back-to-back, but ideally
the week gap will allow you to both absorb and practice some
of the technique pointers from the initial session.
The 1-2-1 stroke correction session
takes 60-minutes to complete and expands on what was covered
in the video consultation. You will be asked to jump into the
water for an initial review of your stroke and instructed to
swim for 10-minutes "however feels most comfortable at
this point in time". Following this the coach will re-emphasise
the areas for consideration from your first session and then
begin the process of systematically breaking your stroke down
into easy-to-manage stages.
You
will be shown that the freestyle swim stroke really is very
much like a proverbial jig-saw puzzle (right). Knowing this
and appreciating how the various areas interact with each other
will give greater understanding of why various drills and technique
imagery exercises are being prescribed to you. Much of this
will have been covered with you in the initial video consultation
and is visually demonstrated in good detail in the Swim
Smooth DVD Boxset as well.
There will be ample opportunity
to ask as many questions as you feel necessary to get the most
from your session, and the coach will be only too happy to expand
on various ideas if appropriate.
Whilst the session will be broken
down systematically, in the final 10 to 15 minutes you will
begin re-building the stroke and synchronising the couple of
key areas of your stroke back to together. This process is highly
beneficial and you will be shown how these aspects can be easily
adopted into your normal stroke.
There will be opportunity at
the end of the session to discuss further swim stroke correction
sessions and your coach will advise how many sessions and how
frequently you should look at doing these. We will not advise
extra sessions unless we absolutely believe they are necessary.
Supplementary sessions may include:
