Technical Swim Coaching and Video Analysis
James's technique-focussed swim coaching and video analysis sessions take place in 25m pools Chichester, West Sussex, Petersfield, Hampshire and London Bridge.
What's different about James' sessions?
It's pretty easy to spot a flaw in somebody's stroke. But what is the underlying cause? James helps swimmers take the guesswork out of their swimming . 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 opportunities for improvement in your stroke.
The best place to start is with a 90 minute overall stroke analysis and TI intro session and make a plan from there.
The 90 minute stroke analysis session involves detailed video analysis of your stroke from above and below the water. We review the video together and then make a start on one or two elements of your stroke that will make the most significant impact on your swimming. The session is followed up with the video analysis shared with you via an app which downloads the videos to your device or computer. These videos have stroke analysis from me recorded over them along with graphic notation with suggestions for stroke improvement.
After that most people choose to work with James in blocks of six, where each session is focused on one or two specific areas of your stroke meaning you don't have to worry about the bigger picture.
If you are unsure about anything please get in touch or we can have a chat on the phone.

"James is the most thoughtful and engaging coach I’ve worked with. He responds to what’s in front of him rather than trying to fit your swimming to a general model, unerringly zeroing in on one or two points that will help you improve. His understanding of the stroke dynamics of front crawl, in particular, is exemplary. The video segments James sends post-session are invaluable – and every bit of advice is delivered with tremendous charm and thoughtfulness. His coaching has helped recently my short course PB for 1500m from 19:00.17 to 18:42.32. Big thanks."
