Favorite Websites:
GoSwim.tv (Glenn Mills) - If you would really like to improve your swimming technique then you need to know what good swimming technique looks like. GoSwim.tv has the best collection of world class swimmers doing all the strokes above and below the surface, at race pace and in slow motion and with detailed commentary of what they think about when they swim.
Additionally, there are many drills and focus points for swimmers of all ages to watch and practice on their own to improve.
GoSwim.tv is the site I use when teaching athletes during lessons and also to send out content for athletes to watch or drills to follow.
