Built for club swimmers
- For swimmers training with a club or squad
- The transitions squads rarely drill
- Legal touches for every changeover
- Drills to take back to squad training
Faults we fix
- Bleeding time on the back-to-breaststroke transition
- Illegal or sloppy touches that risk disqualification
- Going out too hard on fly and paying for it across the other three
- No pacing plan, so the freestyle leg becomes a survival effort
Quick answers
Should I work on all four strokes or just my weakest?
Both. The clinic diagnoses your weakest stroke and the transitions, then prioritises the work that will drop the most time. Often the biggest gains are in the transitions, not the strokes themselves.
Will we cover the legal transition rules?
Yes. Each change of stroke in the IM has specific touch and turn rules, and getting them wrong means disqualification. We cover legal, fast transitions for every change.
Can the IM clinic feed into my other clinic choices?
Yes — it often does. If the diagnostic shows, say, your breaststroke is the weak link, the dedicated breaststroke clinic is the natural next step.

How close is your swimmer
to the qualifying times?
The free checker compares their best times with county, regional and national qualifying times, event by event, with 25m and 50m swims counted the way each championship counts them. Look a swimmer up by name or membership number and it fills itself in.
Want the next step mapped out? The Gap Plan turns the gaps into a plan for you and your swimmer: the races to target, target splits, open meets near you that still count, and race-day help.
