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.
