Does this sound like you?

You want to enjoy your swimming more. You know there is something missing but you aren’t sure what it is or how to go about learning the skills you need to get to the next level. A part of you knows that it shouldn’t be this difficult to improve when other swimmers look so effortless in the water.

You have been to the local pool for lessons or ‘stroke correction’ but it seems like there is something fundamental that you can’t seem to grasp and the coach is used to working with swimmers who have a better feel for the water. Your friend who is a good swimmer has tried to help but the changes (s)he suggested didn’t work for you… If you go to regular squad sessions you get fitter and stronger but it is hard to implement technical changes when you are chasing the clock and you haven’t gotten any faster for a while.

Good swimming needs a high level of skill in the water and your body is used to doing what it has always done. Repeating movement patterns creates ‘muscle memory’ and establishes neural pathways which make it hard to change the way you swim.

Added to this any tension, breathlessness, anxiety or fear that you experience in the water makes it hard for you to relax and feel how your body is relating to the water, let alone change the way you swim…

Learning new swimming skills requires a good learning environment where you can be calm and relaxed. You need a teacher who can relate to where you are at, help you to understand what you are doing in the water and give you simple tools so that you can feel a better way of swimming and make it into your regular habit.

Bare Fish is an Australian brand based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. We love swimming and we are passionate about helping people to learn new skills. Between us we have 20 years experience of swim coaching and diverse experience in a wide range of sports. We combine scientific rigour and an awareness of the unique way that each person learns into the art of our coaching so that you can learn the fastest and easiest way possible.

From July 2011 onwards Bare Fish will be launching a series of one day courses for all abilities from beginner up to competitive athletes. These courses will be available in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. There will also be a 4 week course for non-swimmers and those with anxiety in the water.

During the month of July our video analysis service will be free! Sign up to our mailing list for this and other special offers. Course details coming soon!
