🔵 Mastery Monday | Arm Recovery Before & After

One swimmer. two swims . Very different outcomes.

Video 1 — What we see too often:
The elbow lifts up and back, pulling the shoulder joint out of its natural plane. The joint gets stuck, forcing the hand to swing forward as the elbow drops to allow the shoulder to move. This is where overuse injuries are born.

Video 2 — What we’re working towards:
The arm comes out wide and forward, and stays close to the surface. The whole arm moves as one unit, operating within the required plane of the shoulder girdle. Less restriction. Less injury risk. And notice how much more weight is forward during recovery — that’s not a small detail. That forward weight shift is what creates the timing to use available forces and send energy forward through the water.

Efficient recovery isn’t just about looking smooth. It’s about keeping the body injury-free and building strokes that actually work for you — not against you.

💬 Which recovery do you recognise in your own swimming?

‘’Thank you so much for all the hard work you do, I am amazed at the training ‘F’ has received from you he has progressed so much from being so scared of water he is so much confident and thats a thanks to you.’’

This is feedback from F’s mum after his group lesson last week.
F started with us just over a year ago, not able to put his face in the water, float or swim.
He has now passed our Lobster Level 2 and achieved all this and more on his own-with no swim aids:
Calm out breath, face in water 15+ secs
Floats front/back 10 secs
Back float plus leg action 4m
Front float plus leg flutter 4m
Pick up sinkers from bottom of pool.
Roll from front to back, float to live position.

Do you or your child want to learn to swim?
Available daytime, flexi time or home schooled?
1:1 spaces available Wed and Fri 9am-12 noon.

Meet Blane who is training for his first Ironman in July. He had video analysis and coaching with Jacquie yesterday- the improvement in his stroke already is amazing to see. Main focus was on his breath management and getting his whole body moving as one connected vessel through the water.
You can follow Blane’s journey on Instagram and youtube links in comments. 👏 🏊‍♂️ 🤩
