About the Effortless Endurance Freestyle Workshop:

This workshop introduces the fundamental skills and three foundations of Total Immersion swimming - balance, streamlining, stability.

- Triathletes looking to improve their stroke and use less energy and improve their swim times using less effort.  
- Open Water swimmers looking to improve their stroke and make it more efficient.

​

What will you learn?

During the workshop you'll learn the three foundation skills of effortless distance swimming:

- Balance and Stability: Become 'weightless' by learning to work with gravity instead of fighting it. Learning balance transforms struggle into smoothness and calms churning legs. It also brings the body control and mental calm necessary to learn every skill that follows.
- Streamlined: Learn to move through water, rather than move it around, by shaping your body to be longer, better aligned, more hydrodynamic; and moving in ways that minimise waves and turbulence. Streamlined swimming means that you travel farther and easier on each stroke.
- Whole Body Propulsion:  Replace splashing with effortless power by connecting arm and leg actions to rhythmic, relaxed weight shifts initiated in the core. Instead of generating muscular force you’ll direct 'available' forces of body mass and gravity.

This workshop is recommended for those who can swim 25 meters or more of crawl stroke or who have studied TI skills previously via the Total Immersion Academy. The workshop includes expert instruction, individualised feedback and two video analysis sessions.
