Join Paul Newsome at 2pm in the Zoggs endless pool for the biggest Swinger vs. Smooth smackdown yet! We'll be comparing Dave's classic Swinger style with another famous name from British swimming who has a classically long Smooth freestyle stroke. Which stroke style is best and which should you use yourself? Find out live on Saturday!

Also join Dave and Paul Newsome at 11:30am in the 220 Theatre where they look at classic swim styles and how to improve each. The seminar will be packed with insight and tips to improve your own stroke technique.
You can see Swim Smooth's full schedule of other seminars and endless pool sessions at the show and the following weekend in Manchester here. Remember to bring your swim footage on a USB drive to our stand (next door to HUUB) and a full Swim Smooth coach will analyse your stroke for you. :)
Swinger vs. Smooth
At the core of Swim Smooth's coaching philosophy is our recognition of two 'ideal' swim strokes, the Swinger and the Smooth. This is quite a step away from convention as swimming coaches have traditionally only recognised the Smooth as worthy of emulation but that disregards amazing swimmers such as David Davies, Laure Manadou, Shelley Taylor Smith and the Brownlee brothers:

Each stroke style is equally valid and has strengths and weaknesses to it. One will naturally suit you more than the other, identify which works best for you and your swimming will really start to click!
