Personal Analysis of YOUR Swim Stroke!

Send us video of your swim stroke and Bob Bruce, 2003 US Masters Coach of the Year, will personally review, analayze, provide audio commentary as well as outline drills to improve your swim stroke.

Our state-of-the-art video editing tools will take your video show you your swim stroke in slow-motion. Seeing your stroke in slow motion allows you to see angles you would not otherwise see. Watch your swim stroke in front of your big screen in the comfort of your own home.

Why do you need your swim stroke analyzed?
Reduce your learning curve — The saying "a picture is worth a 1000 words" is never more true than with with a technique-intensive sport such as swimming. Seeing where your inefficiencies are is a powerful tool.
Swim smarter — Eliminate "garbage yardage" and make the most out of each and every swim knowing your technique is correct.
Increase swim speed and efficiency — Drills are a great way to improve your swimming, but knowing the best drills for YOU is even better. Having a pro analyze your swim stroke and provide you with specific drills for improvement will lead you down the path of becomming a faster, more efficient swimmer. Who doesn't want that?

But I don't have a camera....
You can rent an underwater camera from United States Masters Swimming for a very nominal fee, record it on your own video camera and mail it to us. We will review, and record our comments on a new version of that video and mail it back to you!

Don't want to use an underwater camera? We'll review videos that your buddy or spouse shoots from above the water as well (however, we can see more information with the underwater view).
