Competitive Swim Lessons that Start with Good Technique and Finish with Success!

We specialize in refining technique for swimming athletes and provide the highest quality of instruction for pre-competitive to national qualifiers in our 25-yard and 25-meter heated pools. Most clients schedule a one-hour lesson each week to supplement their conditioning program and to obtain the best and quickest results.

Coaching begins with analysis of all four strokes, starts, and turns, subsequently followed by qualitative feedback and implementation of effective drills to improve mechanics for faster times. Multi-sport athletes will benefit from working on timing and mechanics to improve efficiency for endurance events. The process is a collaborative effort between coach and student to maximize conditioning training and become successful so as to build self-belief.

Recommendations will be made so swimmers can continue to adjust mechanics and timing during conditioning workouts at the club, high school, or college levels. The athlete is responsible to make every effort to utilize newly taught methods in order to change acquired poor habits into new patterns of movement and prevent stroke errors as they mature in the sport.   Input from parents in the younger swimmer is always welcome.

Your coach, Joanne M. Koury is credentialed with USA Swimming and the American Swim Coaches Association Level 3, with 40 years of coaching and teaching experience. Check out the Your Coach page for more details on Joanne’s credentials.

The principle is competing against yourself. It’s about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
