If you struggle swimming more than a length or two of front crawl, finding it difficult to coordinate the stroke or get a breath easily, or only currently swim breaststroke and would like to learn front crawl, come and join us on this 6 week Front Crawl Fundamentals course.

 

There will be a maximum of 4 swimmers, so lots of individual attention and video analysis of each swimmer during the course.

​​​

You will learn how to swim front crawl so your body works as a single connected unit, rather than a disconnected sum of body parts pulling and kicking and using a lot of energy. Swim Mastery coaching draws on human biomechanics to ensure swimmers are only taught movements that keep their joints safe and keep your body in alignment to maximise forward movement in the water. You learn to work with the water rather than fight it. 

​

This course includes an assessment of your functional (daily) breathing habits. How we breathe on a daily basis at rest determines how we breathe during physical exercise. Therefore, this course will give you some feedback on your own breathing patterns and how to improve them to help your swimming.​​

In 2024, Tracey Baumann, founder of SwimMastery, who trained me as a coach, has been interviewed four times by Brenton Ford on the Effortless Swimming podcast. These discussions give you a good insight into the principles of SwimMastery coaching and he is probably inviting her back for a fifth time in 2025!
