The perfect stroke starts in your head, not your biceps.
99% of swimmers don't plateau from lack of strength – they plateau from too much drag. We break your technique into detailed building blocks and rebuild it: body position first, then propulsion. Effortless kilometres instead of gasping after 50 metres.
Each pillar of the platform cuts your drag a little further – from your first feel for the water to a clean glide phase.
Our philosophy
Behind swim-coaching.com is a multiple Ironman finisher: 3.8-kilometre mass starts in open water, middle distances, Olympic distances, marathons. No laminated licence on the wall – but thousands of hours in the water and the knowledge of which technique actually holds up in the world's toughest endurance races: the kind that survives fatigue.
That experience became movement engineering: detail-obsessed technique work with drills like the dolphin canoe, dolphin kicks and glide-phase optimisation – broken down into building blocks anyone can learn one at a time and reassemble.
Hydrodynamic drag grows with the square of your speed. Cutting your drag gains you more than doubling your power – which is why we train gliding first, speed second.
Classic swim lessons fail on sequence: butterfly and turns before the body position is solid. We isolate every movement – glide phase, breathing, pull pattern – and only then put them together.
Anonymised underwater video analyses with graphic overlays show in black and white where you brake and where you glide: red drag lines, green glide lines. Theory is explained by a professional AI avatar – precise, repeatable, around the clock.
