Lessons are taught by Lauren Jensen at the Southwest YMCA in Greenfield, WI or an open water swim location. Lessons can be for one or two athletes of similar swimming ability attending together. You will receive video recorded stroke analysis and continue to improve your freestlye.

A typical lesson includes a written evaluation of your stroke as well as video above the water from the side and head-on. Our camera allows us to record you with high resolution at a slowed down speed so you can see everything when you view the recording. After the assessment we spend the rest of the time working on drills that will correct your swimming form. The evaluation is done using the same form used at our Swim Faster clinics that over 2000 athletes have attended. These my methods have been refined over many years and result in rapid changes to your swimming technique and speed.

Having the right strength training program is critical to maximizing your performance and staying injury free.  Many athletes skip strength training or follow the same unproductive strength training routine year after year.  Now you can get the right strength training program customized for YOU!  Physical therapist and pro triathlete, Lauren Jensen, will watch you run and move and will assess your strength training needs.  Then she will design a strength training program customized for your needs.
