let us inspire you and help you overcome your trepidation - learn freestyle today!
As a beginner you face many challenges in learning freestyle. There's getting accustomed with the water, learning the actions of the stroke, learning how to breathe and very possibly overcoming fear of the water. Don't worry, that's normal!
As swimming coaches we teach the basics of freestyle to novice swimmers every day. Overcoming those challenges is never easy but with a little determination and with our knowledge and methods you're going to crack it for sure.
NOTE: Front Crawl is often used to describe Freestyle in the UK - it's exactly the same thing.
Why do we call it Freestyle at Swim Smooth? Because it's the international name for the stroke and used in the competitive swimming world.
