A short example of the video analysis that you will experience on this course

Would you like to transform your freestyle technique in just 1 half day? This may sound too good to be true but with a 100% success rate we GUARANTEE to achieve just that!

If you are at a plateau with your training, fed up with people overtaking you who look like they are doing half the amount of work, struggling to get any faster, find swimming a real chore or generally want to improve your technique then this course is definitely the best choice of our services for you and will give you the fastest results. You will not only LEARN what you are doing wrong, but will be able to SEE what you are doing wrong with our state-of-the-art underwater video analysis system. You will leave with a whole new understanding of effective methods and techniques to develop all aspects of your freestyle swimming specific to YOUR stroke.

We have a maximum number of 10 students per clinic with 2 coaches present. This approach generates very personalised and individual attention.

Structure:

To be a great swimmer it is vital to understand the key elements of swimming technique. We will put you on this path with a combination of theory, discussion and practical work. In 4 hours you will learn exactly where your individual technical isues lie and you will learn how to correct them in order to swim faster with less effort and vastly more confidence.

"This course was like nothing else I have ever experienced in the world of swimming coaching! The progress I made in just 4 hours is truly remarkable. Over a 400m sprint I am now 3 minutes faster and my stroke rate has dropped below 20 per length when it was 26 strokes per length yesterday! Best money I have invested in myself for a long time." - Eddie Matthews - triathlete

"Oustanding, is how I would describe the advice from Elite swim academy. I feel sure that with their help I will dodge the channel tunnel train fare and swim the channel. Simple techniques taught with a bit of common sense and in an unpatronising way."

"I want to thank for a most enjoyable day on Sunday, it was worth every penny. Got rid of some poor habits that had slipped in, gave me a reminder of how I might be able to swim if I focused a bit more and also interesting to learn new techniques which were previously not the accepted methods. It was fun and I really liked your natural but precise method of delivery."
