This freestyle clinic is very helpful. I've been learning freestyle for 2 years but still struggling with long distance swimming. During the session, Brenton recorded my swim from different angle and then illustrated the details of my kicking, body position, catch, breathing, etc. I was enlightened about the issues that caused my fatigue. The drills I practiced during the session were also helpful. I left the session with clear understanding about my freestyle problem and several key points to work on. Overall, this is a well-organised and very beneficial training session.

As a result of doing this clinic 12 months earlier, I made radical changes to my swimming style leading to a 12 to 14% reduction in times. This time Brenton identified two aspects requiring particular attention and I am concentrating on exercises to address these in my morning swims.

Excellent Clinic !!
Well structured and professionally delivered.
General presentation included detailed key mechanics related to body position, drag and propulsion. Practical examples involved drills which showed how and how not to execute these techniques (Sets of drills specifically related to improving catch and pull are a game changer).
Individualised training involved Brenton taking before and after videos of the swimming strokes of each of the participants from several angles. Detailed explanation and reasoning was then given for three of the most important specific improvements that can be made by each of the individual participants with appropriate drills to practice to enable the required changes.
My expectation was that these changes of habit will take 6-8 weeks to ingrain these new habits start showing improvements in performance. However, over the week following the clinic, I noticed a marked improvement in my positon in the water which allowed my arms to be less "cramped" throughout the stroke. My body position now allowed me to to feel more balanced and able to complete each stroke with seemingly less effort. This has resulted in 3-4 seconds gain over 100m at a range of intensities. Could not be more more satisfied and I am looking forward to practicing all changes over the coming months.
Clinic was conducted in a friendly, inclusive environment.
