“Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase it, we can catch Excellence.”
We teach and correct competitive swimming technique and accept students able to swim 25 yards of free and backstroke, as well as breaststroke and dolphin kicking.
Most clients schedule a one-hour lesson each week to supplement their conditioning training 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 re-train muscle memory. Changing and developing skill is a collaborative effort and the athlete is responsible to make every effort to utilize newly taught methods in training. 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.
