No gadgets, no grinding more yards
What is inside
Five habits. One repeatable session.
Each habit is a drop-in drill set. Together they become one technique session you can run on repeat, the same one Chris builds with the athletes he coaches.
01
Excellent posture
Set your line in the water so you stop sinking at the hips and dragging the whole way. A good stroke starts before you even kick.
02
Superior mobility
Ankles, shoulders, and the upper back. Open the ranges that let a clean stroke happen at all, with the exact drills to get there.
03
Bilateral breathing by default
Breathe to both sides and watch the over-rotation, the scissor kick, and the sore shoulder start to settle on their own.
04
Proprioception and effort
Learn to feel where your limbs are and read your real effort, so your training stops being blind and starts compounding.
05
A long-term mindset
Treat swimming like golf, a coordination skill you practice in pieces. This is how you keep getting better for years, not weeks.
