What people are saying

"My coaching colleague recommended this course to me and it has been a great learning experience. I have been struggling to make my swimmers understand how many pieces there are to a start. After watching and going through this course, I have new ideas and ways to explain all the components of a swimming start to all my swimmers. I started using some of these drills and coaching cues at practices and have seen some of my athletes already improving!"

"This course is awesome! I have never seen more detailed explanations of Start Fundamentals anywhere else online. Not only has this improved my own starts, but it has helped the little kids I coach as well. I teach for a learn-to-swim program and at the highest level - we teach them how to start. It was a struggle for me to explain in ways they would understand at first, but going through this course has helped me break down the steps of a start into solid, bite-sized chunks so I'm more proficient at teaching it. Some of the explanations from this course I learned, I use while on deck with my swimmers!"

"All throughout high school I had really poor start form. I thought it was something I didn’t need to work on that much, because I am a distance swimmer. However, I am really short, so every start I would come out of the water behind others. I randomly came across this start course and decided to try it out. It’s such a great course and helped me not lose so much distance from my starts. Definitely recommend!"
