Develop skill AND fitness... 

 

Most coaches design sets to build fitness. 

​

But racing isn’t just about fitness — it’s mostly about executing skills under pressure.

 

So what happens when swimmers get fitter, without developing their skills?

​

They stop getting faster. 

They miss cuts. 

They may even quit.

If your workouts don’t integrate skill development — every day, every set — then you’re training fitness, not performance.

​

Most coaches recognize that skills are the difference between winning and losing. 

​

Yet they fail to build skill work into their training.

​

And writing a great set is just the starting point.

​

Skills have to be challenged over time if they're going to show up in races.

​

If you’re like most coaches, you may appreciate these concepts, you believe in the concepts, but you’re not sure exactly how to make it happen.

​

You need help taking ideas and turning them into reality.

 

That’s why I created the Set Design Coaching Intensive.

 

You’ll learn exactly how to design sets that develop skill while still training hard.

 

You learn how to develop skills within the training program and the sets that you’re already doing.

 

It all happens during a 5-session, one-on-one virtual coaching program.

 

It is a 100% application-focused course designed to equip you with the ability to design effective sets that develop the necessary skills to help your swimmers go fast.

​

And more importantly, you'll learn how to continually challenge swimmers' skills to ensure they keep improving.

 

It’s all about taking the key concepts and learning how to use them in your workouts in as little time as possible.

​

To keep the course focused, we'll focus our efforts on helping swimmers create more propulsion.

 

All the coaching and content will be geared towards designing sets to help swimmers develop that key skill.

​

We'll walk through the exact framework for how to design effective sets throughout an entire season:

​​

• Step #1- Understand the targeted skill

• Step #2- Identify the strategies to improve the target skill

• Step #3- Design an effective set 

• Step #4- Progressively challenge swimmers with set design

• Step #5- Evolve sets throughout the course of a season to build toward championship performance

 

Each step is critical.

​

You can't write great sets if you don't understand the skills and the strategies.

​

And the 'perfect set' needs to evolve over time to continue to challenge swimmers.

​

You'll learn how to do it all.

​

Throughout the whole process, you’ll be actively writing sets.

 

I’ll be providing you with guidance and feedback.

 

That way you know exactly what you need to do and how to do it.

 

This course is all about practical application.

 

The focus is on helping you make it happen in the real world.

 

You’ll learn all this during 5x50-minute one-on-one Zoom calls.

 

We go through everything you need to know to practically implement a systematic approach to designing sets that build skills during training.

 

I’ll work with you in real time to implement these ideas into your own sets.

 

I'll provide you feedback about how to do so effectively.  

 

Here’s what to expect:

 

• Day 1- The skills of propulsion and performance strategies for improving propulsion

• Day 2- Sensory strategies for improving propulsion

• Day 3- Set design frameworks to optimize the implementation of skill development strategies

• Day 4- Set progression over time to ensure you can continue to challenge skills 

• Day 5- Integrating skill development into your season plan and how set design changes throughout the year

 

These calls will be recorded so that you have a record of everything we discuss that you can reference in the future.

​

We'll be reviewing and creating sets each day.

 

And to make sure you have everything you need to be successful, as a bonus, you’ll also get the following:

 

• Videos of all the key skills being performed across all strokes, paired with my commentary on what’s happening and why it’s so important.

• Written documents and educational videos for EVERYTHING we talk about so that you can dive deeper on any topic at any point in the future.  You don’t have to worry about missing a key concept, because I’ve documented everything for you in a simple, easy to consume format.

• Set design checklists so that you have a tool to guide you through writing sets designed to help swimmers create more propulsion.  At first, this is especially valuable when you’re learning to implement these ideas as it will make the process faster and easier.

• Strategy checklists so that you can quickly reference the options you have for improving the ability to create propulsion.

• 75+ sets across all the strokes to ensure that you have practical examples of effective set design.  

• For each set, you’ll also get a video explanation of what’s happening and WHY the set is being designed the way it is.

 

With all this coaching and all this information, do you think you could be successful designing sets that help your swimmers improve their skills while training hard.?

 

If all this course did was provide you with clarity about how to consistently and reliably help your swimmers go faster through effective set design, how much would it be worth to you?

 

If all this course did was provide you with a framework for developing critical skills without having to change your training, how much would it be worth to you?

 

The reality is that many swimmers drop out of the sport because they’re not improving their skills and they’re not improving their speed.

 

Losing swimmers costs your team money.

 

And if ONE swimmer continues swimming for ONE more year because of the improvement they see as a result of implementing these ideas, it pays for itself.

 

I’ve spent a lot of time and a lot of money learning these ideas, learning how to put them into practice, and learning how to help other coaches learn to do the same.

 

You don’t have to spend the same amount of money or put in the same amount of time and effort.

 

You can take the shortcut.

 

You’ll get all this for just $499.

You’ll be able to develop the most important skills in swimming in a lot less time with a lot less effort.

 

More importantly, you’ll help your swimmers go fast.

 

Learn exactly how to make it happen.

Andrew

​

P.S. If you're interested in Skill Development Systems, this course is foundational.  

​

You learn how to identify critical skills, effective strategies for developing those skills, how to implement those strategies, and how to challenge swimmers over time.

​

Just like you'll need to do when building a Skill Development System.

​

Here's what coaches are saying about the Set Design Coaching Intensive...

 

Working with Andrew has been great! He breaks down complicated concepts into simple principles that I can easily understand and explain to my athletes, and the way he covers propulsion across all strokes and underwater kicking gave me a clear system for teaching these skills, setting up practices, and continually challenging my swimmers. It's really helped me see how to track their progress and keep pushing them in a way that makes these skills translate into their swimming.

 

-Travis A.

 

I highly recommend Andrew’s course. I learned creative strategies on how to design swimming sets that help swimmers maintain and improve their technique even while training. Andrew has given me an alternative approach to the constant challenge of teaching competitive swimming skills, correcting stroke mechanics, and providing interesting workouts for my swimmers.

 

-Steve H.

 

Taking this course with Andrew opened up my imagination to new possibilities for helping my swimmers achieve their goals in a constructive manner that challenges not only them but myself. I highly recommend taking this crash course. I'm not one that is easily impressed, but this course taught me more in a week than I've learned over the last several years.

 

-Naji A.

 

The course was extremely informative. The way to look at swimming both in terms of technique, progression and performance has changed for me dramatically. With the tools provided and with the discussion in each session, I have become more confident in my ability as a coach. This includes both an understanding of what it takes to make structured training programs and what to reflect on as a coach on deck.

​

-Frederik K.

 

This is a Ph.D. level course in stroke mechanics, skill development, workout writing, and swimmer engagement.  Andrew is a fantastic teacher who has put a lot of thought into nearly every aspect of elite swimming.  This is the perfect course to help the average swim coach develop into an expert in what it takes to become an elite swimmer.

 

-Kevin B.

 

Sessions with Andrew are insightful, he has obviously spent hundreds of hours preparing to help coaches. He simplifies advanced topics and streamlines the practice & season planning process. His concepts could be applied from anywhere from age group swimmers to elite athletes to masters swimmers.

 

-Matt W.

 

The course has given me better tools and understanding for working with swimmers, on creating better propulsion. The tools are simple and can easily fit into sets without taking too much time or having to reorganize every set.

 

-Anna K.

 

Every session was awesome.  It helped me as a coach to improve my understanding of what to do and how to do it. I got much better at creating sets designed to help swimmers improve the skills they need to develop, and I got a much better perspective on ways to progress those skills over time.  Just as importantly, I became a lot more confident in what I was doing.

FAQS

 

What technology is required?

 

All you need is an internet connection and an electronic device that has video capabilities.  I’ll send you a zoom link.  You just have to have access to the internet.

 

How does scheduling work?

 

Since it’s just you and me, we work together to find a time that works for both of us.  At the end of each call, we schedule the next call at the earliest time available.  The goal is to have one call per day and move through the calls as quickly as you'd like.  However, life often gets in the way, so it may take more or less time. 

 

Does the course cover other skills?

 

While many of the conceptual aspects of the content can be applied to other skills, the main focus is on helping swimmers learn to hold more water and create more propulsion.  

 

The goal is to help you learn all the skills necessary for writing good sets.  It's much easier to learn those skills when we focus on one skill in the pool.

 

As time permits, and as a natural part of our discussions, there will be opportunities to ask questions about how the concepts apply to other skills.

 

How interactive is the course?

 

The course is 100% interactive.  It is a conversation between two coaches that is adaptable based upon your interests and your understanding.

 

How practical is the course?

 

This is not a theory course.  I provide the concepts as quickly as possible and as thoroughly as necessary.  After that, we get right into examples of sets using these concepts.  As soon as the concept is clear, you start writing sets with my guidance!

 

Is the course individualized to my needs?

 

During the first call, we start by discussing your challenges, your context, and your goals.  The rest of the course is modified to meet those needs. Throughout the process, we’re in constant conversation, allowing the course to adapt to your goals.

 

How is the course content delivered?

 

The meetings themselves are conducted via Zoom.  All documents are delivered electronically through downloadable links via e-mail.
