TECHNIQUE
Fluid Mechanics brings advanced competitive swimming concepts to life through the use of our unique visual learning system, FM VisionWorksTM and FM Avatar Animations. Simply put, swimmers see it, then do it.

ENDLESS LAPS ARE NOT THE SOLUTION
Our comprehensive technique curriculum is based largely on the teachings of legendary US Olympic coach Dr. James Counsilman. Author of The Science of Swimming, Doc Counsilman is largely regarded as one of the most successful swim coaches in World Swimming history. Learn more about Counsilman
Swimmers get faster by increasing stability and propulsion, minimizing drag, and grasping concepts such as hydro dynamics and pressure fields to better understand how their motions affect their movement.

Breakouts & Finishes
COMPLEMENTARY WATCH IT NOWMinimize the Time Lost During Transitions! - Our Breakouts and Finishes Event helps swimmers conquer and improve these critical aspect of racing. We show you techniques for harnessing hydro dynamic forces to propel you forward, and how to correctly position your head, arms, and torso during the final stages of the competition.
Hydro Dynamics
1 SessionThrough a clear understanding of hydro dynamics, swimmers learn how to stop spinning their wheels and begin gaining traction in the water. It reveals where energy is being wasted and why effort is not being rewarded. By understanding the role of water, a swimmer begins to own their environment and gains a tactical advantage over their competition.
Maximizing Propulsion
1 SessionGenerating more propulsion means that you go further down the pool when you pull. By understanding your relationship to the water, blocks, and the wall, as well as how to apply more force and gain longer rides, a swimmer can quickly in increase the effectiveness and speed through the water.
Generating Force
1 SessionUnderstanding force is crucial to maximizing swimmer performance. Fluid Mechanics teaches the science of force application, and how to control it in an exciting and comprehensive way! Our experts show swimmers how to harness these forces to increase power, efficiency and speed.
Race Mapping
1 SessionRace Mapping allows us to create a specific blueprint for swimmers to reference at any point during the training and remove the guesswork. You will learn how to increase your speed speed by regulating strokes, breathes, and energy allocation in five yard increments throughout your race.
Evolution of Breaststroke
1 SessionDedicated to exploring the five major styles of breaststroke and their differences. During this session we break down the different variations and reveal the benefits and drawbacks to each style to find the style that suits your swimmer best. Through the clear understanding this program provides, you swimmer will take control of this complex stroke, and begin their progression toward an new dimension of speed and power.
