Front Crawl
The Shaw Method will help you refine your front crawl technique by teaching energy-efficient swimming and refined body alignment to help you swim longer distances with less fatigue. You will learn injury prevention through safe, joint-friendly techniques and mindful movement, improved breathing coordination and relaxation techniques to enhance your overall swimming experience and reduce anxiety.
Art of Swimming courses and workshops are taught within a small group and Steven and his team will adapt the teaching to different skill levels so you receive a tailored learning experience.
This will allow you to develop confidence in swimming in a sustainable way and setting the foundation for further exploration into advanced techniques.
LEVEL 1
Who should attend?
Anyone who can swim or glide with their face in the water, and wishes to learn a unique, efficient, and inspiring approach to front crawl.
Aim
To introduce a fluid and powerful full-body movement combined with smooth, integrated breathing to this most commonly swum stroke.
By the end of the course you will be able to:
- significantly reduce the amount of effort required to swim the stroke
- establish a strong sense of rhythm, balance and propulsion
- use optimum rotation of the body to increase streamlining
- recognise the appropriate amount of exertion for the leg action
- achieve the proper timing for the arms and
smoothly integrate front crawl breathing into the stroke by use of passive breathing
LEVEL 2
The level 2 front crawl classes are designed for those who have been taken through the Shaw Method progressions and for front crawlers that are interested in refining their skills and improving their performance.
The focus is on moving beyond the basic building blocks to a more flowing and sustainable action. Particular attention is given to achieving an integrated and relaxed breathing pattern. Most people also experience an improvement in their ability to achieve greater propulsion with less effort.
