Hi there, Mark here. Hope all is well with you. You know the situation. A swimmer’s breaststroke timing just won’t come together. Their front crawl breathing is throwing the whole stroke off. Their backstroke position keeps falling apart. Or you need another way to break down butterfly without making it more complicated. Sometimes you need a better progression. Sometimes you need a different drill. And sometimes you simply need another way to explain it. That’s exactly why I’ve put together the new Stroke Teaching Toolkits. PLAN IT. PRACTISE IT. EXPLAIN IT.Each toolkit gives you three practical resources for one stroke: PLAN IT PRACTISE IT EXPLAIN IT Choose from: Front Crawl Teaching Toolkit Breaststroke Teaching Toolkit Backstroke Teaching Toolkit Each complete toolkit is £24.99 GBP (converted to your local currency when you click through). Buying the three ebooks separately would cost £31.97 GBP, so you save £6.98 GBP with the toolkit. If you already know how to teach and simply want more practical tools to take poolside, these are designed for you. Three resources. One stroke. Everything working together.
Plan it. Practise it. Explain it. All the best Mark |

Your legs may tire quickly, leaving you breathless before your arms have had a chance to settle into a comfortable rhythm. Why it happens An effective front...
Swim Better Weekly - One small change to make swimming easier. Hi there, Mark here. Hope all is well with you. Welcome to this week’s Swim Better Weekly - one small change to make swimming easier. The problem Swimming feels like pushing through the water rather than slipping smoothly through it. You may kick harder and pull faster, yet still feel slow or tired because the water seems to resist every movement. Why it happens Your body meets less resistance when it forms a long, narrow shape....
Hi there, Mark here. Breaststroke is one of the strokes I’m asked about most by swimming teachers. And I understand why. You can teach the leg kick. You can teach the arm action. You can teach the breathing. But getting a swimmer to put pull, breathe, kick and glide together in the right sequence can be a completely different challenge. That’s exactly why I created the Breaststroke Teaching Toolkit. It gives you three practical resources to reach for whenever breaststroke starts becoming...
