The Wave- The official blog of SwimLabs Swim School

No matter what sport you choose, the quickest and best way to become proficient is to learn and practice the fundamentals. In swimming, a sport that is basically performed “blind”, this is especially true.

Our facility at SwimLabs is specially set up to practice fundamentals. With our endless pools, video analysis system, video library of expert swimmers, and expert coaches, we have created an environment that allows for swimmers to not only practice the fundamentals of the sport, but also make improvements to their technique as well. Typically, this results in drastic improvements to stroke technique, and therefore large drops in speed.

The following is a client testimonial. After only a few hours of coaching sessions, they were able to vastly improve their strokes and their times.

Hi Mike & Giff,

Wendy McCurdy

There are several Learn to swim programs in the Denver Metropolitan Area, all offering what can sound like very similar programs. The words “certified”, “warm water”, and “year round” get thrown around quite a lot, which can create some confusion as to how each and every program stands apart, and ultimately, why you should spend money with one of them and not another.
At SwimLabs, we know that we do stand apart from the other area swim schools. We are definitely a certified, year round, warm water swimming school, with highly trained and experienced coaches, but we are much more too.
The main thing that sets SwimLabs apart is our use of high technology to better teach and coach our clientele how the sport of swimming works. At SwimLabs, we use both Endless Pool technology, and Dartfish Video Analysis technology to better teach and coach our clients. Using these two technologies in tandem, we are able to teach our learn to swim clients more quickly and efficiently than can be done at a traditional swimming pool, and for our advanced clients, we are able to pinpoint exact features of stroke technique that will allow them to improve.
Most area swim schools cater specifically towards children, or at the most to competitive teenagers. At SwimLabs, we know that swimming is a life long sport that can be enjoyed by everyone, of all ages and ability levels, and so while we do have one of the best and most progressive youth learn to swim programs in the state, we also feature a similar program geared towards adults who are interested in becoming involved with the sport for the first time, or looking to advance the skills that they learned in earlier, younger days.
Another feature of SwimLabs that sets us apart is our competitive coaching program. Whether you are an Age Group Recreational or Competitive Swimmer, a Masters Swimmer, or a Triathlete, the SwimLabs coaching staff can help you become a more balanced and efficient swimmer, and to drop time in the process. With the use of our Endless Pool technology and Dartfish Video analysis software, we can easily record your swimming technique from a vast number of camera angles, both above and below the water, and then show you exactly how your technique works, and things that you can do to improve it. We also are capable of showing you video of any number of Olympic caliber athletes, performing the same stroke from the same camera angle, so that you can see exactly what they do that makes them so affective.
At SwimLabs, we know that the best way to make a decision about a swim school or coach is to see exactly what a sample session would look like- as such, we invite you to look at our website, and our videos, to see exactly what we’re all about.
