Hello Facebook community, Steven here.

It’s been a while since posting and am so delighted to get back into the swim of things again. In many ways I have felt like a fish out of water. As I get back into the water, it feels like I am finally coming home again!

Although, the break from swimming had been very challenging on many levels, I felt that I had used some of the time productively having time and space to reflect and analyse my teaching. I am very excited with a number of upgrades and new discoveries to the teaching of all the strokes. It will be great to share some really effective new practices in teaching the Front crawl, which creates more balance, direction and stability, providing the breakthrough that so many people are looking for.

One of the few benefits of being in Lockdown has been the opportunity to work with young children. Its really inspiring to see how the children explore and create underwater. Its also been greatly enjoyable working with families and seeing the way children interact with their parents.

I am really excited to come back to London and share my love of the water with some individual and shared lessons. I am also really looking forward to running small bespoke workshops in Frome, where I now live.

Please feel free to get in touch with me or the team.

Crawling out of Lockdown

‘I have been really loving teaching in Frome.’
The Corona Pandemic has effected us all in different ways and for me it has made it dif- ficult to follow my my regular teaching schedule, in London and in Europe.

But as disappointing as that may be I was presented with an amazing opportunity to teach in a private pool 5 minutes from where I live in Frome Somerset. For the past 30 years I have lived as a kind of swimming pool traveller by renting lanes across the UK and abroad. Corona has changed all that !

I have been amazed of how much better it is to teach in a totally private space, without the noise and distraction of other swimmers. Although the pool is relatively small the fact that I am in control of the space more than makes up for lack of meters. I can make sure the temperature of the water and with no other distraction my focus and that of my clients is really making a huge difference.

And after many years of focusing primarily on adults and teacher training I have been for- tunate to start to work with young children again. I love their receptiveness, creativity and sense of joy. Working with children has really re-ignited my own creativity and playfulness in the water which I appreciate as a great gift.

I have also really enjoyed working with families together in the pool and have loved how the children can facilitate the learning of their parents and vice versa.

Myself and my partner Jotipal Kaur, who is a Kundalini Yoga teacher and Sound Healer, have been creating a very profound space for release and inner stillness in the water using floatation equipment, crystal bowls and the gong. It has been immensely enjoyable to see the transformation of people as they come out of the water after this
experience. It is especially good when I also get to float in this experience myself! We have had really good feedback and will continue to offer this unique experience next year.

I have been exploring the swimming and teaching of all the strokes but given Butterfly and Backstroke are now not recommended during these challenging times I have really focused on the crawl. I have developed some new teaching t

"Water is a magical medium It brings to my awaren

"Water is a magical medium It brings to my awareness subtleties that I would not notice out of the water.
The relationship between my head neck back affects my performance in the water more than any other singular factor. When I am able to let go and really free my neck in the water everything feels incredibly light and easy in my body and I feel a sense of calm and stillness which enables me to really be in the moment so that I can see and feel what to do with my pupils. When I am able to free my own neck, I stop trying to fix them, or get them to do the right thing and instead start to explore moving from the realms of the known to the unknown.
And this is where true freedom exists." Steven Shaw
