FAQS
How is the information provided?
To make sure you understand exactly what skills are important, and you understand the skills, I provide written descriptions and videos of swimmers executing the key skills. During the videos, I describe what’s happening, so you have an even better sense of the skills. Same thing with all the skill development exercises. I describe them, I show them, and I explain them. That way you know what to do and how to do it.
For what age and abilities levels is this information designed for?
While this isn’t designed to help swimmers learn to swim for the first time, it’s intended to be used when coaching swimmers of all abilities. If they can swim legal strokes, they’ll benefit. The skills of fast swimming are the same for all swimmers of all ages. This is particularly true as I focus on the fundamental principles that universally build speed. All swimmers need to get better and better at executing the key skills, and certain strategies are more effective than others.
Even if you coach really novice swimmers, it’s important to have a rock-solid understanding of where they need to get to eventually. You need to know the strategies that will be most effective to get there. In terms of the solutions designed to improve these skills, the vast majority can be performed by swimmers of all ages and ability levels. While there are more difficult exercises, most can be performed by those capable of executing legal strokes.
What if I’m not sure how to put this into practice?
I show you which strategies to use to improve each skill. There’s also a section on basic set design to show you how to use these strategies when creating sets. There are also 20+ training sets per stroke so you can see examples of what effective sets look like. You’ll have information you need to get started, and then you’ll be able use your skill as a coach to continue to innovate and design sets to help your swimmers.
Is this a physical book?
No. The written documents are PDF files that you can read on any device. Within each PDF, there are links to unlisted YouTube videos so that you have access to all the different videos wherever you are. I am also including all the ‘hard copy’ video files so that you have access to them offline.
Are dryland exercises covered?
No. The focus is on the skills in the water and how to improve those skills with water training. While I believe that dryland is important, I am keeping the information focused to the work that takes place in the water.
Are turns covered?
Improving starts and turns is a topic in and of itself, and that requires its own dedicated attention. Starts and turn will be covered in the future.
I am a swimmer that does not have a coach. Will this information help me?
While the information is written for coaches, it provides clear information about the important skills swimmers must develop to improve their speed. The exercises involved are also designed to minimize the amount of ‘coaching’ that is required. In that respect, the information can be of value to a self-coached athlete, and you should learn multiple ways to improve. However, it is not necessarily designed for that purpose.
