Swim Types Methodology

Swim Types is an innovative classification system developed to personalize coaching for individual swimmers, acknowledging their unique strengths and weaknesses. Unlike one-size-fits-all coaching approaches, this system enables tailored guidance that directly addresses a swimmer’s specific needs and movement patterns. It emphasizes the philosophy of coaching the swimmer rather than conforming them to an arbitrary ideal stroke, helping swimmers identify and correct their technique effectively. This approach has positioned Swim Smooth as a leading authority in swim coaching, partnered with British Triathlon and World Triathlon to enhance coaching standards globally.
