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.
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.
In our 1.5 hour sessions we focus on the "Dimensions" of technique.
Dimension-level instruction offers advanced information related to your swimmer’s specialty events. This program prepares swimmers for more exclusive meets, invitational events, and college teams.
Our teaching methods employ a scientific approach to improving technique that is unlike any other program. Based on biomechanics, we teach swimmers about the factors that affect their efficiency, from the kinesiology of their movements, to reflexive actions, to how various parts of the body move in relation to one another. At this level, we offer more explicit direction on how to fine-tune positioning and motion through the water to gain greater speed in all aspects of their performance. Once swimmers have mastered the essential elements of this track, we work on blending the skills together through a series of exciting and challenging exercises.
