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 |
