Stroke correction
There are several elements that make up a correct swimming stroke: breathing, head and body position, hand entry, stroke pull and reducing water resistance, all of these elements need to work in unison to be at your most effective.
GoodSwim work with drills for each part of the stroke so get ready to practise!
We observe your current swimming ability and natural stroke first (video is optional, strongly recommend) and then work with those drills.
