Stroke Correction
– From Tension to Technique
“Excellence is not an act, but a habit.” — Aristotle
For adults who can swim — but want to swim better, smoother, and stronger.
But Not Like I Want To
They’re not beginners.
They’ve been swimming for years —
sometimes laps at the local pool, sometimes on holiday, sometimes just for fitness.
And yet…
Every few strokes, something feels off.
Their breathing is rushed. Their shoulders tighten. Their rhythm breaks.
They’re not sinking — but they’re not gliding either.
They look around and wonder:
“Why does it still feel so hard?”
They’ve watched videos.
Tried advice from friends.
Some even had lessons in the past — but it never quite clicked.
And deep down, the same quiet thought keeps returning:
“I should be better by now.”
But swimming well isn’t just about effort.
It’s about timing, technique, and letting the water do half the work.
That’s where this journey begins.
Public pool squads often focus on distance.
Group classes rarely have time to correct you.
And friends? They mean well — but they’re not trained teachers.
That’s why so many intermediate swimmers plateau.
They swim harder — but not smarter.
Our stroke correction sessions are built to change that.
- One-on-one coaching that studies your stroke
- Expert eyes watching the small things that matter
- Step-by-step changes you can feel — not just hear
It’s not about learning from scratch.
It’s about unlocking the swimmer that’s already inside you.

“My teacher was experienced, knowledgeable, and able to easily explain what parts of the techniques I'm getting wrong… Also a fantastic swimmer and a great guy to spend an hour with.”— JasonWadeDunn
Every lesson is private, tailored, and focused on you.
We don’t follow cookie-cutter drills. We study your stroke, breathing, rhythm, and timing — then refine what matters most.
- Breath & Timing: Learn to sync your breathing with your body, not against it
- Stroke Mechanics: Fix hidden inefficiencies and conserve energy
- Endurance & Rhythm: Swim longer with less fatigue and smoother flow
- Custom Plan: Whether you’re preparing for a trip, fitness milestone, or just want to enjoy the water more — we tailor it to your goals
This isn’t about swimming harder.
It’s about swimming better — with control, confidence, and calm.
Let’s refine what’s already inside you — stroke by stroke.

“Adult swimmer here. Started with zero swimming skills. Learnt freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke in less than 10 sessions… My instructor tailored the lessons to suit my pace and broke down instructions into manageable steps.”— Ev
This isn’t about ticking off swim levels. It’s about building a technique that stays with you — for life.
Here’s what most adults improve through our stroke correction program:
Learn when and how to breathe — without breaking your rhythm or panicking mid-lap
Reduce drag. Move smoother. Let the water carry you — not fight against you
Get your arms, kicks, and breath working together — not in separate parts
Build better movement habits that conserve energy and improve long-distance performance
Develop that almost-invisible “connection” that skilled swimmers have — when movement feels easy, not forced
Most of all, you’ll walk away with a new kind of awareness:
Where every movement has purpose — and your body finally works with the water, not against it.
You’ve come this far. Now let’s make every stroke count.
This program is for adults who already know how to swim —
but feel like something’s missing.
Maybe you’ve hit a plateau.
Maybe your body tires too fast.
Or maybe you’re just tired of guessing what’s wrong with your stroke.
- You can swim at least 25 meters continuously
- You feel comfortable in water — but want more efficiency
- You’ve tried learning from videos or past lessons, but still feel stuck
- You want smoother breathing, less effort, and better control
- You’re not looking to race — just to swim well, for life
If that sounds like you — welcome.
This is the place where technique meets trust, and frustration becomes flow.

“After not swimming for many years I wanted to get back into the water… After an initial three lessons I am able to do all the basics and comfortably swim 50 metres… I feel like I am a success.”— Ian SheenIf you can already swim — but want to move smoother, breathe calmer, and feel stronger in every stroke —

Book a call with our team, and we’ll guide you step by step.
No stress. No pressure. Just clarity, care, and coaching that works.
Because when the stroke flows… everything gets easier.
I can already swim. Is this program right for me?
Yes — Stroke Correction is designed for swimmers who can already move through the water but want smoother strokes, better breathing, or improved endurance. If you’re swimming 25–100 metres and feel something’s still “off,” this is your next step.
What if I want to improve my freestyle or breathing rhythm?
That’s exactly what we focus on. Whether it’s freestyle, breaststroke, or even backstroke — we help you refine your timing, breathing, and efficiency, so you can swim with less effort and more control.
Can I still join if I haven’t had lessons in years?
Absolutely. Many of our students learned to swim years ago — but never quite mastered it. You don’t need to start over. We meet you where you are and help you level up with confidence.
Do I need to swim a certain distance before starting?
If you can swim at least 25 metres without stopping — even if your technique feels off — this program is for you. If you’re still working on staying afloat or swimming in deep water, we recommend starting with our Proteus™ program.
Can I choose the length and frequency of my lessons?
Yes. Most students start with 45-minute sessions once or twice a week — but you can opt for 60 or 90 minutes, and we’ll adjust the frequency based on your goals.
Where do lessons take place?
We travel to your home pool or apartment complex pool anywhere in Sydney. In some cases, we can also use ocean rock pools or netted beach areas. Just let us know your location, and we’ll personally match you with the right teacher. Ocean and beach locations are offered exclusively on a limited basis and depend on suitable weather conditions.
What if I realise I need more time?
That’s completely okay. This isn’t a fixed program — it’s a flexible pathway. We track your progress and guide you step by step. You can continue learning at your own pace.
Do I need any equipment?
Just goggles and swimwear. If your pool is cold, a wetsuit or swim shirt can help you stay comfortable. We’ll provide any extra equipment if needed during lessons.
What’s the difference between this and triathlon coaching?
Stroke Correction focuses on refining your technique and control — without needing race preparation. If you’re aiming for an event or open water swim, Triathlon Coaching is the next level. We can guide you when you're ready.
