How to Choose a Swimming Training DVD
Step-by-step Instructions
Here is what you need to do...
Step 1
Figure out exactly what kind of video you want. Most swimming videos are advanced level technique training taught by Division I college coaches or Olympic Coaches. Most are broken up into specific strokes.
Step 2
Do a little research on who the coaches and swimmers on the DVD are. Example, it would be good to buy a DVD of Michael Phelps teaching you Butterfly, but not so good to buy one of him teaching you backstroke.
Step 3
For basic Freestyle technique, i suggest the Total Immersion technique videos.
Special Attention
Difficulties people often experience or parts that need special attention to do it right.
Make sure you have basic swimming knowledge before trying to purchase and follow one of these advanced technique DVD's. If you are not able to swim, please purchase lessons from a private instructor at your local pool as this will serve you better in the long run.
