Moving From Beginner To Intermediate with Ben Geard

from Effortless Swimming

I’m excited to introduce my guest, Ben Geard, from Element Swimming. Ben and I go way back as great friends, and he was one of the coaches during the Maldives Camp last year. At Element Swimming, Ben offers lessons for beginners and helps swimmers progress from beginners to an intermediate level. That’s what we will talk about today—strategies and techniques for individuals who are complete beginners or relatively new to swimming, aiming to reach that intermediate level. 01:41 Swimming And Coaching Experience 03:35 Programs For Beginners Are Hard To Find 05:39 Level I: Building Water Confidence 08:49 Different Styles Of Coaching 11:20 Beginner’s Swim Camp On September 14:15 Level II: Feel For The Water 16:02 “aha” Moments During The Process 19:56 Biggest Mistakes With Skull 23:51 Training Sessions Per Week 25:20 Consistency Is Key 27:44 Level III: Putting Together And Achieving The Goal 31:73 Causes of Exhaustion In Swimmers 34:29 Vertical Kick 36:31 Visit The Element Swimming Website Element Swimming Maldives Camp: https://www.elementswimming.com.au/maldives-camp Check out Element Swimming’s website: https://www.elementswimming.com.au/ Change your technique and swim smoother, easier freestyle in the Effortless Swimming membership: https://effortlessswimming.com/training-and-membership-plans/?el=blog This podcast episode is brought to you by FORM Goggles. http://formswim.com/effortless Watch the episode on YouTube: The post Moving From Beginner To Intermediate with Ben Geard appeared first on Effortless Swimming.
