SWIM STROKE DEVELOPMENT
Looking to improve your freestyle technique, swim more efficiently, build confidence in the water, or perform better in triathlon and open-water events?
These sessions by Coach Arthur are designed as practical freestyle workshops that help you understand not only what to change, but also why it matters and how to apply it. You will learn the key principles behind an efficient freestyle stroke and develop a clearer understanding of how your body should move through the water.
Whether you are learning freestyle for the first time, rebuilding confidence, correcting long-standing technique issues or preparing for a triathlon or open-water event, the coaching process will be adapted to your current ability and goals.
Your First Session: Video Analysis and Technique Assessment
Your first session includes a video analysis of your swimming technique. Coach Arthur will assess your stroke from different perspectives to identify your current strengths, inefficiencies and priority areas for improvement.
This allows the coaching to be built around your individual needs. Instead of trying to change everything at once, you will receive clear and focused guidance on the areas that will make the greatest difference to your swimming.
You will leave the session with a better understanding of:
-
How you currently move through the water
-
What may be limiting your efficiency or speed
-
Which technical areas should be prioritised
-
How each drill relates to your freestyle stroke
-
What you should focus on during your own swim training
Depending on your ability and goals, your personalised coaching may include:
-
Freestyle stroke development and correction
-
Body position and drag reduction
-
Breathing and body rotation
-
Leg-kick technique and timing
-
Arm recovery, hand entry, catch, pull and push mechanics

Stroke rhythm, coordination and timing
