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.

1-2-1 Swim Stroke Correction - your essential pathway to improving your swim stroke!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.

The freestyle swim stroke really is very much like a proverbial jig-saw puzzleYou 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:

  • further development of the stroke for those new to swimming / triathlon, or just needing some further attention
  • development of the stroke for open water situations, e.g. triathlon
  • developing a structured training scheme and introduction to training concepts, e.g. appropriate swim sets
