The Good News…
I have experienced and overcome all of these struggles. I want to share my knowledge and passion for swimming with you and teach you how to overcome these obstacles.
I will guide and support you to make specific changes in your mindset and technique in order to improve your strokes, swim faster and believe in yourself so you ultimately become a more confident swimmer and person.
I will also get in the water to support new swimmers and to demonstrate specific skills. I will provide a personalized program and provide technical stroke feedback that fits your personal needs, learning style and goals.
The results of swimming with TheSwimLife.co = quickly learning to swim on your own, improved technique, greater confidence and the results you want.
What types of programs do you provide? I provide 1:1 private swim and small group coaching in all 4 competitive swim strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle including starts and turns). Specific sets, distances, drills, skills and immediate feedback and stroke correction are provided in every lesson. Lessons are usually one hour in duration but can be tailored to fit the clients needs. *Please use contact form with your special request.
Who do you coach? I coach adults 18+ years old and children who are 7+ years old. I also coach competitive age group swimmers who are looking to improve their skills and overcome plateaus or who may need help on strengthening their mindset muscles. I offer small group lessons for adults who want to learn to swim (LTS), adults who already know how to swim and who may be preparing for a Masters competition, or who want to complete their first triathlon. I also coach adults who want to improve their technique and get fitter, stronger and/or lose weight and adults who just love to workout and swim for exercise and fitness.
New in September 2024 are elite small group training sessions (Level 1 and Level 2) for children including a daytime homeshcool option. There is also a NEW Learn to Swim option where you can learn to swim with others in a small group setting.
What can I expect at my first lesson? Each 1:1 private lesson/small group lesson includes a brief introduction and discussion to learn about you and your goals. An initial in water observation will take place with immediate feedback + feedforward provided specific to you (cue words will be provided so you remember what to focus on both during and after your lesson). Stroke correction drills will be demonstrated to help you become a more efficient swimmer. The same coaching philosophy and techniques are applied for children and adults and are also taught in individual private, small group and clinic settings.
Do you offer discounts for more than one lesson? Choose a package of either 4 or 8 lessons to save. Packages provide deeper discounts on a per class basis. Packages are also a great way to hold yourself accountable and committed to your lessons/training. Registering for a small group program will also support you in reaching your goals while maintaining a consistent training schedule. Group lessons are also a great cost savings plus you get to meet new people and have others to train with and make new friends.
Do you offer stroke analysis videos? Yes, video analysis is included in most lessons. See what you look like when you swim both above and below the water (where possible). Visual feedback is one of the best ways to learn and improve. Short videos are taken poolside where you are able to watch them immediately after each length. Every video is sent to you via What’s App at the conclusion your lesson. Your videos will include specific voiceover instructions so you don’t need to worry about forgetting any tips. All of the key learning points and cue words will be saved in the videos.
Can I hire you as my private, full-time professional coach? Yes! I will provide a seasonal plan, write all of your practices and accompany you to all of your competitions and more. A customized, yearly, monthly, weekly periodization training program will be created for you and only you. This coaching partnership is designed for any full-time athlete (adult or age group swimmer) who wants an experienced professional, private coach to oversee their training program and competition performances. This program is only offered for 3 to 12 months. A very limited number of 4 private performance coaching spots are available on a yearly basis. Contact Lisa for more details and your special requests.
*All sales are final. If you need to cancel for unforeseen circumstances, you may put the private training on hold for a maximum of 30 days. All private packages must be used within 3 months.
