Freestyle Mastery Clinic with Brenton Ford & Tracey Baumann
This is a rare opportunity to work with two of the most respected freestyle coaches in the world — in the same pool, on the same day.
Brenton Ford (Effortless Swimming) has spent over a decade helping swimmers transform their technique through video analysis and practical stroke correction. Tracey Baumann (Swim Mastery) brings a unique inside-out approach — working with joint mechanics, sensory connection, and stroke synchronisation to help swimmers find effortless power and rhythm.
Together, their methods give you a complete picture of your stroke — what's happening beneath the surface, why it's happening, and exactly how to change it. Two expert sets of eyes, two complementary coaching philosophies, one day.
With only 12 spots, every swimmer gets real, personalised attention from both coaches throughout the day.

Details
You will learn
- The fundamentals of fast and efficient freestyle so you have a clear understanding of how the stroke works and exactly what is slowing you down and how to improve
- The ideal body position for minimal drag and the key aspects of the stroke that help you achieve it and how to implement your new stroke changes into daily training even if you’re training on your own or with a squad.
