A complete picture
of your stroke
Filming above and below the surface reveals more than most swimmers expect. The six areas below cover the full technical picture — from body position and breathing on the surface to the catch and kick beneath it.
Body position & balance
Hips sitting low, head position, sinking legs — immediately visible on video and almost impossible to accurately self-diagnose in the water.
Catch & pull mechanics
Dropped elbow, crossover entry, early pull — the most common power leaks. Underwater footage shows the catch and pull path exactly as it happens beneath the surface.
Breathing & timing
Head lift, rotation, breath timing — when and how you breathe shapes your entire stroke rhythm and can be the source of multiple secondary faults.
Kick rhythm & efficiency
Bent-knee kick, cross-kick, kick timing relative to the pull — underwater footage shows exactly what your legs are doing below the surface.
Turn technique
Approach, flip timing, push-off angle and breakout depth — captured above and below the water, covering the key phases of a tumble turn.
Stroke rate & DPS
Strokes per length, stroke rate patterns and whether you're gaining or losing distance per cycle as the set progresses.
How we film: We capture your stroke both underwater and above the surface — underwater footage for the catch, pull path and kick, plus poolside above-water angles (side-on and front-facing) for body position, breathing and timing. Together they give the complete picture.
What you can't feel,
you can see
Most adult swimmers have no real idea what their stroke looks like. What feels smooth and efficient is often something quite different on camera. Video puts the evidence in front of you and makes corrections undeniable — which is why they actually stick.
The poolside review session — watching the footage with your coach immediately after swimming — is where the real value is. You see it, your coach explains it, and you go back in the water to fix it while it's fresh.

Anyone who wants the truth
about their stroke
Swimmers with persistent faults
You've been told what's wrong before but it hasn't changed. Seeing it yourself on camera — and understanding why — changes everything.
Adult improvers
Self-taught technique that needs an honest reset. Video gives us something concrete to work from instead of coaching in the abstract.
Masters swimmers
Targeting event times — video analysis identifies the technical margins between where you are and where you want to be.
Pre-race checks
A video session before a competition or event to catch the one or two things most likely to cost you time on race day.
Never seen their stroke
If you've never watched yourself swim, a video analysis session is one of the most valuable hours you can spend in the pool.
One-to-one coaching clients
Video pairs naturally with ongoing 1:1 sessions — used at the start to establish a baseline and again after six to eight weeks to measure progress.
From footage
to faster swimming
Book a session
Enquire to book a dedicated pool session. We confirm the pool, the session length and what to bring. No specialist kit required on your end.
Swim while we film
We film your stroke underwater and from the poolside (side-on and front-facing). Swim normally — no special setup or adjusted technique needed.
Review poolside with the coach
We go through the footage together immediately after swimming — frame by frame where needed. You see exactly what's happening and your coach explains what to change and why.
Leave with a correction plan
You leave with a clear list of the one or two priority corrections to work on, plus the footage shared to you so you can refer back at any time.
Common
questions
Both. We film underwater — capturing the catch, pull path and kick beneath the surface — as well as above-water angles from the poolside (side-on and front-facing) for body position, breathing and timing. Reviewing both together is what makes the analysis so complete.
Yes — footage is shared with you after the session so you can review it in your own time and refer back as you work on corrections between sessions.
A typical session runs around 60 to 75 minutes — enough time to swim, film from multiple angles, review the footage poolside and go through the correction plan together. Get in touch for current session lengths and availability at your preferred pool.
Absolutely — it's the most effective combination. Video analysis gives us the objective starting point and makes corrections undeniable; one-to-one sessions are where those corrections get embedded through repetition. Many clients use video at the start of a coaching block and again six to eight weeks later to measure progress and identify the next priority.
