technique courses

Front crawl technique courses are foundation of Swim Smart. We've been running these courses since 2018 and put 1000s of swimmers through them. We offer in water coaching, video feedback, a practice guide to follow between classes, drill demo videos to refer back to and unlimited support between classes. 

You'll need a swim suit, goggles and short swimming fins. If you want to purchase anything directly from Swim Smart we will have samples to try during the first class to ensure correct sizing. All courses take place at the Jewish Community Centre on Oak & 41st.

Aka the comfort course. Suitable for anyone who struggles to swim 25m or is uncomfortable swimming in the deep end. Learn the skills you need to swim with confidence in a fun and relaxed environment. Must be comfortable putting your face in the water, otherwise start with private lessons. 

Aka the confidence course. You can swim 25m and survive in the deep end, but feel breathless and need to rest after each length. You'd like to swim further with less effort, more comfort and confidence (and without fins). 

Aka the efficiency course. You can swim 50m without stopping and are comfortable in the deep end. You already know that your technique is inefficient but are unsure what to do about it. You are in need of a tune up so you can swim with less effort. Perhaps you want to swim for health and fitness, or maybe you harbour secret ambitions to do a triathlon one day? 

Aka the propulsion course. Suitable for anyone who can swim 100m+ front crawl without stopping. You want to swim faster and further, fine tune your stroke, learn the key skills to race with confidence, and you enjoy training.
