"My swim has really been progressing based on all your advise and I’ve been drilling home the rotation from the hip. A huge difference as I’ve added the speed back in over the last 6-8 weeks. I can now rep 1.30 hundreds x10 in a 50 metre pool. So I’m basically 12-15 seconds quicker per hundred than I was before your coaching. Huge difference! I would like to progress further. I’ll update you soon" Jon H

Nick's swim analysis sessions are fantastic. He has a great way of explaining how to break down each part of the stroke without it being overwhelming. The support drills help you take what you have practised during the session back to your local pool. I would highly recommend speedy swimming for anyone who is looking to improve their stroke.
