Swimming Video Workshops for Competitive Swimmers and Triathletes

Swimming is a learned skill. Changes in stroke patterns are subtle and difficult to self-diagnose. Consequently, the best method of improving swimming efficiency is to have your strokes video-taped and analyzed.

Format: Groups of 6 swimmers per workshop. Frontal (head-on) and lateral (sideways) views of the selected strokes will be filmed from above- and underwater. Preliminary analysis of the footage will immediately follow the filming. A DVD will be made of each participant's strokes with voice-over recommendations. This footage will include slow motion and freeze-frame segments of the important phases of each stroke. The swimmer can then use this information for repeated viewing and analysis.

Cost: $100

Next scheduled workshops:

Sundays, July 6, July 20 - 2 to 4:30 pm.

Testimonials - Video Workshops

“Your discussion of stroke mechanics shatters some of the myths we have learned from other coaches. The video shows the swimmer what he is really doing, as opposed to what he thinks he is doing. For me, the benefit was immediate. I was swimming faster within a few days and the difference in speed is obvious" Mike B .

“No matter how hard I trained, I could never get faster. Jan Prins helped me make changes to my stroke to build power and speed. My friends could not believe how fast I swam after just one video session. I told all my friends about the video analysis, but I'm not sure I want them all to get faster!" Wendy M.
