HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT...

 

Swimmers Acceleration ™ focuses on combining the art and science of swimming using the latest technology in aquatic training and analysis to develop a comprehensive and individualized swimming regimen that maximizes efficiency and accelerates the competitive edge for all from the novice to high-performance athletes.

 

Our programmes go beyond every level of all the A.S.A courses that are offered here in the UK by their teachers and coaches. And, from our global travels, we know that we transcend the courses offered on the major continents of the globe. At, Swimmers Acceleration ™ we know that continued positive reinforcement and repetition are essential for making significant changes and mastering new skills.

 

 Teaching and coaching swimming technique is not an easy task. Nevertheless it seems to be precisely technique which separates a good swimmer from a poor one. So what exactly are these problems which it is so difficult for the coach to solve in training technique?

 

Common Approach to Teaching/Coaching Swimming Technique:

 

The coach explains the task at hand and possibly demonstrates on land how it should be done. Then the swimmers try to perform the action in the water. Meanwhile the coach evaluates what the swimmers are doing and when they come back the coach gives them feedback. After feedback the swimmers continue by trying again and so on.

 

 

The Neural Concept:

 

The neural concept is in fact a revolutionary idea because now the swimmer is also involved in working towards bettering his technique. By doing this the swimmer is doing the evaluation, getting immediate feedback on their  movements and guiding the stroke on the basis of this information.

 

The Neural Concept refers to a swimmer’s intuitive ability to recognize and effectively handle the water. It is generally believed that a swimmers appreciation of the neural concept of the water is an elusive quality that is unique to the talented athlete; with swimmers of only average ability not having any hope to emulate the acute sensory perception of the talented motor genius.

 

Nevertheless, Swimmers Acceleration™ has proven that by heightening the sense of neural awareness and by learning how to interpret these neural sensations of moving pressure, balance and alignment swimmers of average ability can acquire the subtleties of advanced stroke technique. Talented swimmers coached in this method will likewise achieve greater expertise.

 

Water will flux (move) when any force acts on it; and a swimmer’s hand should always propel against the pressure of moving water. The force exerted by a skilled swimming stroke causes the water to flow in a distinct pattern. Neurotech Swimming’s™ methodology teaches swimmers how to feel for the ideal water flux reaction to their personal stroke mechanics and thus receive instant feedback on their efficiency.This revolutionary new approach teaches swimmers amongst other things how to:

 

• Control the in-build ‘Flight - Fight – Freeze’ mechanism within our human system

• Alter their skeletal posture for maximum application of power

• Anticipate, control, and manipulate the water.

• Learn that their arms, legs and torso function not only as a propelling instrument but also as a skilled and sensitive shaper of the water.
