Over my decade plus of teaching people how to swim, there has been this gut feeling I had that I could do even more.

I've spent countless hours watching people move through the water. From novices to college athletes, especially when I was a lifeguard.

I would watch how they entered the water, streamlined cut through, and fought against the resistance of the hydrodynamics.

Why I think I can teach someone at that level

I have taught for around 11 years, and probably over 1000 people to some degree how to swim.

While I wasn't a competitive swimmer, I do know what that entails. I'm also not opposed to learning more, in order to be the best coach I can. Which I think is an important thing to note.

I've always been a perfectionist, and aimed for even just 1% better every lesson in the client. If not much more progress too.

How to go about it:

I developed my 3 step system to be applied at all levels, but as you get higher and higher, the more important they become.

It is actually rather interesting, given that they were created to teach novices. However at the Olympic level, every single second counts.

Thus your baseline kicks, spinal alignment/head/face, and overall stroke of the arms (the 3 steps essentially). They all matter significantly more, and one mistake can cost you the race.

Thus you master the advanced dynamics of the 3 steps, and how they apply to each stroke.

What would be the point?

When you are at that high level of expertise, then regular training doesn't cut it. In order to get better at anything you need practice, or better yet deliberate practice.

However as your mastery over a skill increases, the less that regular practices will help you improve. It is too slow, it helps when you first start out, and halfway through. At a certain point though, there is a need for purposeful, and more importantly GUIDED practice.

To know when to do what, and how to do it, and why.

In any case, whether its Phelps, his kid, or some other person altogether. I am able to help you improve to get the gold medal.

I'd even be open to a free consultation.
