Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase it, we can catch Excellence.

Better Your Stroke Technique, Dive Starts, Turns, and Strategies for Swimming Success!

We specialize in refining technique and teaching dive starts and turns for swimming athletes. 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 improve mechanics for faster times. Changing and developing skill is a collaborative effort and the athlete is responsible to make every effort to utilize newly taught methods so as to correct patterns of movement to improve.   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.
