Testimonials

Chris

I came to you many years ago for help with my swimming and much of what you instilled remains. At the start of each swim I kick from the wall and focus on relaxing until I feel the water holding me and when I have almost come to a stop begin to propel myself forward, thinking of my body as a boat and my arms as oars (front crawl as knee problem hinders breast-stroke kick). Then, in the moment between strokes with one arm fully extended and the other lying against my side, gliding gently forward, all muscles relaxed, face out of the water I take a natural, easy breath. On a good day it is a kind of meditation.
