Can you currently swim 200m front crawl and do you want to improve your front crawl technique and fitness? If so, we can help with our front crawl technique sessions ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We currently have 4 spaces available our group that can swim 200m and are looking to build this to 400m. If you can swim more 400m+ we have different options to help with your swimming ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ During the sessions we will cover front crawl technique (including: exhalation, bilateral breathing and stroke mechanics) via a progressive series of drills. As the group size is small (max. 8 swimmers) and has a Level 2 qualified swimming teacher working with you, each swimmer can progress at their own pace and receive individual stroke correction The sessions are at Wright Robinson College, M18 8RL on Monday evenings at 7:15-8pm. For further info or to book, please email lucy@swimsmoothmatters.co.uk along with how you’d currently describe your front crawl technique and how far you’re comfortably swimming on it. Please note: Spaces must be booked in advance #frontcrawl #freestyleswimming #triathlon #swimming #fitness #instaswim #thinkdifferently #swimsmoothmanchester #manchester #swimsmooth #manchesteruk

What a difference! We saw Michael in June 2021 for a video analysis session and last week he came back in for a follow up session. Between now and then he has put in A LOT of miles and hard work (he was training for a Windermere swim). From June to September, he swam an extra 700m over a 3 hour swim! Congratulations Michael! You can see the difference from the before (top photo) and after (bottom photo) at the same point in the stroke. Top photo: you can see his body position has dropped, creating extra drag, and his lead arm has slipped meaning that he’s also lost propulsion at this point too. Bottom photo: He has a more streamlined body position. His lead arm is in front providing balance as he breathes and it’s then ready to propel him forwards. If you’re breathing every 3, what happens as you breathe affects 33% of your stroke, so if you correct this, it can make a HUGE difference to your efficiency and times. If you’re interested in see what’s going on with your stroke and how to correct it, our next available video analysis session is on Saturday 16th October 1-2:15pm and then after that the next available session is Saturday 4th December!

We have 1️⃣ more @swimsmooth 121 video analysis and stroke correction session left in October and then after that the next availability (subject to booking) is 20th November! These sessions give you the chance to see what’s going on with your stroke as sometimes this is different from how it feels or what you think you’re doing. We’ll film you from 4 angles so that you can really see what’s going on. We’ll then show you the key areas to improve and how to do it. We’ll then get you back in the pool and go through it with you so you know how it feels. To find out more about why they’re so popular or to book, check out the link in our bio. #swimsmooth  #swimming #videoanalysis #triathlonswimming #openwaterswimming #fitness #fitfam #fitspo #swimtraining #triathlontraining #ironmantraining #instaswim #instatri  #swimbikerun #trilife #trainsmarter #thinkdifferently #swimsmoothmanchester #manchester

Yesterday was our 150th @swimsmooth 121 video analysis and stroke correction session! 🥳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It has been a privilege to be able to share these with swimmers and get them thinking differently about their swimming. They take so much away from these sessions. By seeing what’s going on with their stroke it can be like a missing part of the puzzle. We then show them how to correct it and then get back in the pool to so they know what they’re aiming for when they’re swimming. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to all the swimmers for their enthusiasm and hard work 🙏🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more info and to book see link in our bio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #videoanalysis #triathlon #openwaterswimming #swimming #fitness #instaswim #workhard #measurablegains #trainsmarter #thinkdifferently #swimsmoothmanchester #swimsmooth #instatri #manchester #manchesteruk #swimtraining #triathlontraining #swimbikerun #trilife
