Technical Swim Coaching and Video Analysis
James's technique-focussed swim coaching and video analysis sessions take place in 25m pools Chichester, West Sussex and Petersfield, Hampshire and London Bridge.
What's different about James' sessions?
It's pretty easy to spot a flaw in somebody's stroke. It's more difficult to understand WHY they do it. What's the root cause of the problem? James's stroke analysis is based on his understanding of the mechanics and physics of how swimming works. He helps swimmers understand why they are doing what they do and helps with prescriptive practise suggestions to make the corrections. Video analysis is an integral part of every session. James will help you build a more efficient stroke by building on the things you are already doing well and the identifying and prioritising opportunities for improvement in your stroke. Everything is tailored to the individual swimmer.
James recommends a structured block of six sessions after your initial 90 minute stroke analysis session. Subsequent sessions also involve video analysis but are more focussed on specific areas of your stroke. The video is also sent to you to view with voice analysis and graphic notation so you can review it in your own time after your session.
For most clients, even experienced swimmers, it is something of a revelation how sometimes even quite small adjustments can make a huge difference to how you feel in the water.
At the moment, due to existing commitments, James does not teach complete beginners to swim but does know some excellent swimming teachers he can recommend if you are at the beginning of your swimming journey.
Please note there is a ten day cancellation policy on all bookings.

"Hi James,
Your help made a massive difference to my Leeds Triathlon last year, I did a 1500m PB and I did not even feel like I tried. Worth adding that whilst I am a Triathlon England coach, it was you and your methodology that had significant impact to my swimming performance in an unbelievably short period of time."
