Stroke Technique Analysis + 1:1 Zoom Review

Full Stroke Video Analysis + 1:1 Zoom Consultation

Get a complete online swim stroke analysis with personalized coach feedback and a 30-minute Zoom consultation to review your technique in detail.

This service is designed for swimmers who want more than written feedback. You will receive a complete video-based diagnosis of one selected stroke and then meet online with a coach to understand your technique, ask questions, and know exactly what to focus on next.

Many swimmers know they need to improve, but they do not always know which technical error matters most, why it affects their stroke, or how to apply corrections in training. This service helps you stop guessing and gives you clear technical priorities.

What This Service Solves

This service is ideal if you want a deeper explanation of your stroke, direct interaction with a coach, and a clear plan for what to correct first.

Your coach will review your videos before the Zoom consultation, identify your main technical limitations, and then explain your corrections during the live meeting.

What’s Included

• Complete video-based analysis of one selected stroke
• Personalized technical corrections
• Clear identification of your main stroke limitations
• Explanation of how those errors affect your efficiency
• Recommended drills for your specific needs
• Clear training priorities
• 30-minute 1:1 Zoom consultation
• Opportunity to ask questions and clarify your next steps
• Optional start and breakout review if included in your video

Choose Your Stroke

This service includes a complete analysis of one selected stroke.

You may choose:

• Freestyle
• Backstroke
• Breaststroke
• Butterfly

If you want to analyze more than one stroke, please purchase one analysis per stroke or contact us before placing your order.

Important Scheduling Note

Your Zoom consultation time is selected before checkout using the booking calendar on this product page.

Please choose a consultation time that gives you enough time to record and upload your videos before the meeting. Your coach needs time to review your videos and prepare your analysis before the Zoom consultation.

We recommend uploading your videos at least 48 hours before your scheduled Zoom consultation.

If your videos are not uploaded with enough time before the scheduled consultation, the meeting may need to be rescheduled.

Stroke Diagnostic Test

To provide a clear and useful analysis, please do not send random swim clips. After purchasing this service, you will complete one of the following stroke tests using your selected stroke.

Please choose only one test. If you are not sure which one to choose, start with the 4x25 Initial Stroke Test.

Option 1: 4x25 Initial Stroke Test

Recommended for adult swimmers, beginner or intermediate triathletes, masters swimmers, and swimmers who want a clear technical diagnosis without excessive fatigue.

Swim 4 x 25m of your selected stroke with 20–40 seconds rest between each repetition.

25m #1 — Start + Controlled Stroke / Side View from Pool Deck

If your pool allows safe starts, begin with a dive start. For backstroke, you may include a backstroke start if it is safe and available. Then swim your selected stroke at around 70–80% effort.

The person filming should record from the side of the pool and follow the swimmer, keeping the full body in frame.

This video helps analyze:

• Start, if included
• Streamline and breakout
• General stroke overview
• Body position
• Alignment
• Breathing pattern
• Kick rhythm
• Stroke timing

If a start is not available, begin from a push-off.

25m #2 — Race Pace / Side View from Pool Deck

Swim at around 90–95% effort. The person filming should walk beside you from the pool deck.

This is one of the most important videos because it shows how your technique changes when speed increases.

This video helps identify:

• Loss of body position
• Shortened stroke
• Loss of rhythm
• Breathing changes under intensity
• Kick timing issues
• Stroke timing problems at high speed
• Tempo changes under intensity

25m #3 — Strong Pace / Front View from Pool Deck

Swim at around 85–95% effort toward the camera.

Place the camera at the end of the lane so the swimmer moves directly toward it.

This video helps analyze:

• Body alignment
• Symmetry
• Hand entry
• Head movement
• Breathing pattern
• Kick direction
• Side-to-side movement

25m #4 — Strong Pace / Underwater View if Available

Swim at around 85–95% effort.

If possible, record from underwater. The best option is an underwater side view, following the swimmer.

This video helps analyze:

• Hand entry
• Catch or pull phase
• Push phase
• Kick mechanics
• Hip position
• Underwater body alignment
• Stroke efficiency

If underwater video is not available, repeat a side view or front view from the pool deck.

Option 2: 4x50 Advanced Stroke Test

Recommended for competitive swimmers, advanced masters swimmers, and triathletes who want a more complete analysis at higher intensity and under fatigue.

Swim 4 x 50m of your selected stroke with 30–60 seconds rest between each repetition.

50m #1 — Start + Controlled Strong Stroke / Side View from Pool Deck

If your pool allows safe starts, begin with a dive start. For backstroke, you may include a backstroke start if it is safe and available. Then swim your selected stroke at around 75–85% effort.

The person filming should record from the side of the pool and capture the start, breakout, and as much of the 50m as possible.

This video helps analyze:

• Start, if included
• Entry and streamline
• Breakout timing
• Transition into the selected stroke
• Natural stroke mechanics
• Body position
• Alignment
• Breathing rhythm
• Timing and tempo

If a start is not available, begin from a push-off.

50m #2 — Race Pace / Side View from Pool Deck

Swim at around 90–95% effort. The person filming should walk beside you from the pool deck.

This is one of the most important videos because it shows how your stroke behaves at race speed.

This video helps analyze:

• Body position at high speed
• Alignment under intensity
• Breathing mechanics at race pace
• Kick rhythm
• Stroke length
• Stroke timing
• Tempo and rhythm
• Loss of efficiency under speed

50m #3 — Race Pace / Front View from Pool Deck

Swim at around 90–95% effort toward the camera.

Place the camera at the end of the lane and record the swimmer coming directly toward it.

This video helps identify:

• Alignment problems
• Asymmetry
• Head movement
• Breathing imbalance
• Kick direction
• Loss of stability at speed
• Side-to-side movement

50m #4 — Sustained Fast Pace / Underwater View if Available

Swim at a strong but sustainable pace, around 85–90% effort.

If possible, record from underwater. The best option is an underwater side view. An underwater front view is also very useful.

This video helps analyze:

• Hand entry
• Catch or pull phase
• Push phase
• Body position
• Kick mechanics
• Stroke efficiency
• Underwater alignment
• Technique changes under fatigue

If underwater video is not available, repeat a side view or front view from the pool deck.

Optional Bonus: Start + Breakout Review

If your pool allows safe starts, you may include a start in the first repetition of your test.

This gives your coach an additional opportunity to review your start, streamline, breakout, and transition into your selected stroke.

The goal is not to provide a full race-start analysis, but to identify key technical details that may affect your speed and efficiency during the first strokes.

Your coach will review:

• Body position during the start
• Entry angle, if applicable
• Streamline position
• Underwater alignment
• Breakout timing
• Transition into the selected stroke
• First strokes after the breakout
• First breath timing, when applicable

Safety note: Only include a start if it is safe, allowed at your pool, and the pool is deep enough. If you are unsure, start from a push-off. Your stroke analysis can still be completed without a start.

How to Record Your Videos

Clear video is very important for a useful analysis. Please record horizontally when possible and keep the swimmer’s full body visible.

1. Side View from the Pool Deck

The person filming should walk beside the swimmer along the pool deck.

The video should show:

• Head
• Arms
• Hips
• Legs
• Breathing
• Recovery or arm movement
• Full body line

This angle is very useful for analyzing body position, alignment, timing, breathing, rhythm, tempo, and overall stroke mechanics.

2. Front View from the Pool Deck

Place the camera at the end of the lane while the swimmer moves directly toward it.

This angle helps analyze:

• Body alignment
• Symmetry
• Hand entry
• Head position
• Breathing pattern
• Kick
• Side-to-side movement

3. Underwater Side View

If available, record from underwater on the side and follow the swimmer.

This is one of the best angles for reviewing:

• Hand entry
• Catch or pull phase
• Push phase
• Kick mechanics
• Hip position
• Underwater body alignment
• Stroke efficiency

4. Underwater Front View

If available, record from underwater in front of the swimmer while the swimmer moves toward the camera.

This angle is useful for identifying:

• Asymmetry
• Alignment issues
• Head position
• Kick width
• Body stability
• Hand path under the water

Minimum Video Requirement

If you cannot record all the recommended angles, please send at least:

1. Side view from the pool deck at race pace
