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,
I just wanted to let you know that Matt made three more Sectional cuts this weekend –200 fly, 200 free and 200 IM, which I totally credit SwimLabs for! Marshall dropped 33 seconds off his mile time and is getting close to a Junior National cut. They are feeling very confident and ready for Sectionals. Thank you for your excellent coaching and wonderful service.
Sincerely,
Wendy McCurdy
